boost guage and zener diode questions...

[tmb]

actually, i should've been more clear in my
question.  what i meant to say was that
sometimes, at an indicated 1.2BAR on the display,
the new boost guage shows 3psi, while other times
at 1.2BAR indicated, it might show 6psi.

is this just an example of the digital display
running more slowly than the analog?
