actually 
 at sealevel (with  k24) I wonder about my dash gauge - reads anywhere from
.7 
 to 1.0 when first turned on at ~600ft alt.. >>
The easiest way to do that would be with a 1.5 bar spring in the WG.....  the
computer shuts off at 1.5-1.6 (depends on your pressure transducer)....  So
the simplest thing would be to shim the spring or replace it with a stiffer
one....  The fooling that you speak of is just the WG solenoid applying more
pressure to the top of the WG when P2 is too low.....  The static spring
pressure can accomplish the same thing....  BTDT on a friends car, it works
well, no mods to computer....
