Angry aem boost gauge failure

Does anyone else thats running the aem boost gauge have any problems? The gauge just says ---. Everything was unplugged and checked and when started back up still says the same thing no matter what.

Mine still works. It even reads accurately after AEM replaced the faulty sending unit that came with it and read 2psi low. They explained that they had shipped out a bad batch of sending units and were replacing them for anyone who noticed the problem, contacted them to get a RMA and sent theirs in for testing. Some recall...

I had problems with mine, just as ScionFred said mine was running 2psi too low. Contacted aem via email and they sent me a new sensor. Send them and email or call and they should be able to get you straightened out.

I dont get how a gauge can be so expensive and come out of the box broken! I checked all the wires they are all installed and fine so i guess the sensor came bad and was just never tested by aem. what route did you go to get your sensors replaced cause mine is over a year old so the warranty is over on it.

I had a problem with my analog boost gauge, just call up AEM and get transfered to the tech department and they will work it out with ya. AEM i dont know about them, just i sent in my boost gauge along with everything outta the box and when they sent me my gauge back all i got back was my gauge!! so i called and theyre sending me out the other crap but its been almost 2 weeks and i havent got anything!! Theyre startin to go downhill i think.
