boost gauge question
Hello all,
I have an 88 turbo 2 with about 74,000 miles. It looks runs and drives like new.
Its an impressive car. I dont have any real probs with it, only a question or two.
Im wondering why the stock boost gauge reads -20, zero, and then 40 max...
How can there be minus boost ? Im thinking there is either boost, zero, or I have boost about 1-5.
The needle sits at -20 boost, or level, when driving and boost not applied,etc
Is there some scientific principle that they call a no boost situation , - 20 ?
thanks all
MACK

1psi = 52mmHg, so the stock gauge reads from -3.8psi to +7.7psi.
