installed new prosport boost guage

so the VDO that I had was tired (dropped like 3 times on pavement) and was reading off.  Decided it had come to an end of it's useful life.  It had been in Guin's WRX, my WRX, and my MINI.

I replaced it with a cheap Prosport mechanical boost guage.  All the connections swapped over.  I wired it up for amber lighting.

It reads "0" when off unlike the VDO which still read 1-2 PSI from being dropped.  After changing the SC/serpentine belt, the car hits target boost, idles smoother, and pulls a lot harder all the way to redline.  So far I am happy.
