Default Started Fitting Prosport steppers Day 1 Boost

Hi all, i've started the task of fitting a set of prosport steppers, i have got them wired in (pain in the hoop to get the wires through the brake line grommet!)
Can anyone tell me the reading a wrx hawk should be on the boost gauge at tick over?
Im reading about -0.6?
Does the gauge have to zeroed?
Whats the allen key slot for in the back of the gauge?

You should have put them through the passenger side grommet that runs cables to the ECU. Better to keep wires away from your roasting hot turbo! Plus its a lot easier to run the cables on the passenger side as you can remove the glove box.

Cheers FN i have ran all the cables through there now and they ain't coming out! and i've kept them as far away from the turbo as poss, the brake servo should shield them from the heat?
SO far, 3 cut fingers and god knows how many swears! love it!!!!!!!!

Boost gauge is in and working mate, i think the worse part so far is getting the wiring into the car, i ended up un bolting the throttle pedal, made alot more room, i've just cranked the oil pressure sensor into the adaptor. Waiting for tomorrow now. Then onto the oil pressure.
Looking good so far
