mine was doing the same thign for bout a month...the it worked fine...seem to act up more once the sensor get hot or warm..i call prosport...several times..and they said it was my wiring...i assured them that it was installed as per there instructions..you can buy a replacement sensor and it should fix the issue..

I checked all the wiring and everything was tight and in place, ground was good and so was the sensor wire, but I am running 10w30 oil in there like pkchino said, I may try something diffrent to see if that has an effect.

Because most people are too cheap to buy Greddy or Defi guages.

Burned, so true. Prosports have enough issues on this board alone. Let's not even get into other boards. Some of the people who buy them have no idea how fast a gauge needle is supposed to move with respect to changes in data. It's appalling how slow the boost gauge reacts to pressure changes.

a good rule of thumb is that your boost gauge should match what what you're hearing when YOU press the gas pedal. my guess is that people with prosport boost gauge have come to think that slow needles is normal. IT IS NOT.


slow prosport (notice how it's slow to get to atmospheric pressure even when he hammers it WOT)


fast defi playback (notice how fast it snaps from full boost to full vac)


fast mechanical autometer (notice how it snaps to full vac. when he goes back to WOT, it snaps to atmos before it builds boost)


fast mechanical ebay generic (again, notice how fast it snaps to atmos at WOT)


fast greddy electronic (again, snaps to full vac when he lifts)


another fast defi (same as previous 3)


slow prosport (don't pay attention to sound. notice how the needle floats up to atmos and back to full vac)


slow generic electronic (the number placement and similar font lead me to believe that all the no-name gauges are the same manufacturer)


fast generic autogauge mechanical (this one shows WOT snap especially clearly because it is a large engine)


slow prosport revving
boost gauge test

because anyone can buy these prosports where anyone picking up a Defi usually is savvy enough to check the wiring.

Also, I can bet you anything that there are more prosports running around on this forum than Defi lately.

I know I've read some problems on the electric boost guage, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of oil pressure gauges that weren't fixed by checking the wiring.

how long has prosport been out? what about greddy/defi? im willing to bet theres more greddys and defis out there.

last i checked we had VERY FEW complaints about gauges not working before prosport but now once these prosport things start selling they pop up. coincidence? i think not.
