Inaccurate stock boost gauge
I suspect that my boost gauge is not accurate... someone told me that when the ignition is ON, with engine off, i should be at 0psi. right now it's at -20, and during acceleration i do not get much more then maybe 1-2psi
could it just be miscalibrated?

Keep Right Except to Pass
I think it has something to do with corrosion on its pins on the board. Assuming FC here.
A good aftermarket boost gauge s/b on your short-list so you have confidence in the reading for when you start playing with other things.
