I called p3 and they said if u have an upgraded map sensor you don't need their analog boost sensor

Nice, thanks for letting us know. That makes sense because the gauge just reports what the ecu is seeing.

Has any one else had trouble with the gauge flickering?
I installed in mid May and had the problem from the start.
emailed p3 and over the next months they suggested a few things to try, nothing worked.
they finally said to return it and they would replace it. I asked if I could give them a card number and have them send the unit as it would leave a hole in the dash.
Since then nothing has been heard from them, many emails and nothing.
I called the suppler and they have tried to contact them, nothing back to them.

This gauge is badass, I wish I had a need for it. I just DD my car, and it's NA.

Mine sometimes dims for a split second when I hit the brakes. I'm thinking I've got some kind of wiring issue somewhere.

The flickering may be the warning system.. Mine does that when it comes near full boost

I spoke to Tim at p3cars. He asked me to forward you his email. He will get it taken care of!

Hope I don't seem silly here, but when I view the boost for my gauge it's a negative number. When I'm wide open throttle it approaches 0. It seems to me like the scale is off.

Is this normal or did anyone else have this issue?

Until you're at boost, you should be showing a vacuum condition. Do you see it go past 0? If you're boosted and it's not going positive, something's wrong.

Gotcha. I kind of figured that all out later. But I really appreciate the responses guys.

Not boosted yet. But I'll be sure to verify it when I am.
