Boost vaccumm
For some reason today my boost gauge is acting up (or so I think). Usually when cruising, not pressing the accelerator,
the gauge reads about 10InHG, now today I noticed that it reads at the very very bottom of the gauge, the needle points straight down.
What could be the reasoning behind this?

Well what kind of gauge do you have? Is it mechanical electrical or digital? And the vac line hooks right to it correct? If it is mechanical hook a vacuum tester to it and ss f it moves the needle. If it does then you have a vac leak if your car is still running like it should.
