QuestionIs it possible that the front panel indicator is reversed? When I start the car the hand of the indicator moves to the left (white region), but when I accelerate the indicator moves to the centre or even to the right (black region)? I had never driven a car with turbo, but I imagine that it should be working like this except according to the owner’s manual exactly in the opposite direction. In any case, I will have someone to take a look at it. Thank you for your time, m.

I just bought a 1994 volvo 940 vagon turbo (190 000 miles) and the boost pressure gauge stays on the left side (the in white section) all the time. According to owner�s manual that means that the turbocharger provides pressure all the time. Should I get it tuned or is this acceptable? Thank you, m.
Answer -
this is an unacceptable condition, i'm sorry i know how turbos work but not a total expert in turbos, but i know they have a wastgate to divert pressure so you need to have it fixed,i know it can cause damage
Answeri don't think it's reversed, the wires or a wire or maybe a vacuum hose missing or cracked if they use vacuum hoses for indicators, i would find out what hoses (and what type) are connected to the turbo equipment and make sure they are not damaged /loose /broken, i know that oil pressure indicators have metal hoses, so there are different kinds
