Low boost/vacuum?

I'm not sure if its just a faulty gauge but today my vacuum was at 24 and full boost at 13psi, where as its usually around 16psi.

Its just bugging me since it still pulls really hard.
Just want to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Later all!

Sounds like the guage isn't zeroed out. When you put the kiey in and turn it to run, but before you start the car, look at the guage and see if the needle is on 0 or not. It sounds like the guage is zeroing out at -3 and is throwing your guage off buy -3. The bad thing is that you will probably have to replace the guage, but the good thing is that nothing is probably messed up besides the guage.

Well **** lol!
its zeroed in properly....

Anyone know what it could be? I replaced my supercharger, and ran it for the 1000 miles low key, but its starting to sound like the bearings are going out again.... and its getting much hotter then usual.

Bump for anyone else having this problem?
