Which Boost Gauge should I trust? LOL
Well, I noticed my RPD reads 25.5psi, my interceptor reads 22.7psi, and my mechanical boost gauge reads 29-30psi. Which is right? Rofl?!?
3 bar maps btw and ZZP hooked up the autometer mechanical boost gauge.

The Autometer mechanical gauge is most likely the correct one at high boost.
DO they match up to 22 psi ok?
Th eIntercepter suffers from the same malady as HPTuners does logging over 22.4 psi, (255 kPa), the ECU can't do it on that channel.
The RPD is maxing out at the sensor limit for the scaling of the 3 bars in the tune I believe.
The gauge is the correct one here, that's why ZZP installed it.
29 psi on the stock turbo is death. I hope you are large turbo now.

id say the macanical is right, it reads straight boost, no calculations, unless of course its broke. my defi, which is electrical signal from a boost prob is the same as what my ecu reads, just gets there faster
