Default Boost gauge broken

Is there a way to take a boost gauge apart and make the needle go back to 0? When my car is off the guage reads 2psi. Which I would imagine would make my readings off the whole time! help!

if u pull the light out its slot u might be able to get ur pinky in there and adjust the pressure ring by applying physical pressure to it. when u touch the ring your boost gauge will go up, if u push it too hard it will actually stay a little higher than what it thinks is atmospheric pressure. probably not the best way to do it but it should work

I'm guessing its an autometer gauge. If it isn't then sorry. If it is, its pretty common and I would upgrade to a better gauge with a sending unit like a greddy gauge.

Even if you could fix the gauge, would you trust it?
