Going over my sled after a 3 day ride and noticed a small amount of oil had leaked out of my autometer boost guage. the equalizer screw had vibrate loose. When the it is level it still goes up at least 7/8 of the face.
 
Yeah its still accurate I called Autometer about it. Im not sure if this gauge is all its cracked up to be yet. I had a regular carbon fiber faced plastic autometer that broke and replaced with the procomp. I find the boost readings to be high on it and the liquid filled BS of having to leave that screw cracked open and the silicone liquid leaking out of it a pain in the #*$&@. They say if you leak to much you have to order more from them and fill it back up. I am running the 7 psi pulleys at 10500 rpm and hitting 10 psi and sometimes it does not return to zero when the sled is off for a while. I may just get another cheepo and try my luck.
