Is there a restrictor in the line? Had a similar sort of problem until I found out there should what was a tiny little restrictor that went in the line to the guage. Fixed my gauge no worries.

are there also any leaks in the piping? is the olive on the back on the gauge seated correctly?
Cheers,

More info...does the motor go like it used to?? does it smoke alot out the tailpipe, do u hear a hissing noise on boost?? is the turbo spoolin or are you hearing hissing from the tailpipe??? if everything is ok there, you have a hole in your pipe to te gauge...
