Its an autometer and worked fine when I first installed it. I'm hoping its just a loos wire or something but I don't know why it would only do it while in boost. Anybody else had this problem.

My first thought is loose wire. btw what is your setup and your EGTs? I just put in mine. :)

Mine did the same thing, the two wires are crossing or grounding out. It's because the two leads are very close together, put some electrical tape or heat shrink on both rings to avoid this nasty problem!

I was hoping it was something simple like that. Thanks I'll dig around in there over the weekend.

Thats my setup and my cam timing was messed up while the EGT gauge was working right so not really sure what the temps are yet.
