Default Boost Gauge reading for you turob guys..

What is your normal Vacuum reading at idle? Does your boost gauge sit at 0 when the car is turned off? Is there a way to calibrate a boost gauge? This is for a regular analog boost guage(IE: Autometer). Thanks

my autometer is slowly losing its precision,
it says -19 in vacuum and with the car off the needle is not at zero like before

a lot of boost gauges fluctuate slightly from 0 once they get older..
In my experience, readings vary a pound or so from gauge to gauge anyhow,
so the most important thing is that the gauge is consistant.
