here something to think about. a turbo runs off of exhaust and when the car is started, no exhaust yet but the engine needs air to run. so the engine will suck in air creating a vaccum, thus reading neg boost. once its running and pushing out exhaust making the turbo spin, the gauge will read positive pressure
