Check the vacuum line then re-calibrate. If that doesn't work, I bet the vacuum "converter" is bad, not sure what that little box is called.

Check the line directly behind the guage and were it also attaches to the DV/BOV line.

Follow the small lines coming off your Diverter Valves below the Airbox or DCI depending on which one you have. The boost gauge line will tie into the DV line with a T pipe.

WOW thats unbelievable...Were there babies nested in the filter...I would bug the hell out. I heard countless stories about this and your lucking your wiring harnass to your car was not bitten off. That would be very expensive to fix.

Solution - Mod your ECU with cheese and a mousetrap. Im sure some vendor will come along and charge a rediculous price.

As it gets colder out the rodents like it warm and what's better than a warm engine after its been driven. I would put mouse traps and rodent poison all over the bottom of the floor underneath the engine. It's a great repellent or get a cat in the garage.

Oh, well that's good news then... the boost gauge is working just fine.

Sorry about your car though... that sucks. I hate when animals eat my engine parts. Nothing is more annoying.
