997.1 Boost pressure guage not working
Hello,
I just bought a beautiful 997.1 Turbo. 15,000 Miles Gt Silver with full Terracota interior. Sharkewerks stage 2 and bilstein B16 Damptronics. 2 sets of HRE wheels, one 2 piece set with slicks for the track and another for street driving. Currently wrapped blue and wheels platidipped. I will be removing these cosmetic mods.
My boost guage readout does not show boost. Just stays at zero. The car runs fine but I would like to see the boost pressure. Anyone know what I could check to fix the issue?
Thanks!

There should be a connector near the IC that connects to a sending unit for the pressure.
I have read posts where just disconnecting & reconnecting the connector (cleaning up the connection) allows it to work. If not corroded, the sending unit may have failed.

I disconected the connector on the Y pipe at the neck. That is the boost sensor. Didnt do anything still stays at 0. Could it be my software remmaping?

Disconnected and re-connected, right?
OK, if you have access to someone who has a good working sender, try to swap it to test. If not available I do not think those senders are that expensive to purchase to solve the issue.
