Turbo Boost Gauge

[col_2]

can any body give me a clue on whats gone wrong?? my turbo gauge light bulb blew, so i pulled it out, replaced old bulb with new bulb which now works, fitted it all back, & now it says im running at 2bar, before i even start the car up lol, oh dear do i need a new gauge or is it something simple?

oh & the bulb i took out was a 2 watt & the new one was a 4 watt would that be the problem, as it was working fine till i changed bulb!!!
