I too have a 91 940 turbo, and mine doesnt either, if I really push it I can maybe get halfway into the boost side of the gauge.

Assuming your car is stock, at max boost it will hit maybe 7-8 psi. If it went all the way to the end of the gauge it would be like ~30-40 psi, enough to melt your pistons and grenade your engine in a heartbeat :thumbsup: .

It's sort of like how the speedometer goes up to 140... when it's stock the car won't go up to 140, they just kind of put it there for shits and giggles.
