Default AWE vent boost gauge adjustment

I recently received the AWE vent boost gauge that I ordered beginning of September. After it was installed, it sits 1 mark below zero. Any idea how to adjust it?? There are no adjustment screws on the back. I was hoping over time it would go back to zero, buts it been over a month now :/

Default No such thing as adjusments...

Apparently you live a bit below sea level.

Well I found I was able to twist the hose connector and get it to line up at zero, but was unable to tighten it down before it went back to sitting below zero There's got to be a way of adjusting it, their manufacturing tolerances can't be perfect for every gauge.

Default Same thing for my AWE vent gauge I just intsalled last weekend and the VDO I had oh my ex-A4...

they both show a little bit below zero when engine's not running. I don't think it's that big of a deal, plus it's just a rough measurement anyways.

My Omori vent gauge does the same thing...one tick below zero...works fine. I wouldn't worry.

Default FWIW...

My Omori, (which is who makes the AWE gauge except mine is electric), sits half a tick above zero at my home, but right at zero at work, which is exactly 22 miles from home.

Don't worry about it.

Default Electrical Omori 60mm Boost Gauge Adjustment

If I'm not mistaken, when I purchased my 60mm electrical Omori from SPP almost two years ago now, they supplied a small adjustment screwdriver so that the gauge could be adjusted for zeroing out the gauge.

If you have the mechanical 50mm gauge, you might not have the adjustment screw, but I definitely know it exists.

Interesting... I'll call Eric about my 50mm electric on Monday.
