Turbo boost gauge going crazy

My 1986 930 OEM boost gauge suddenly started going crazy. Jumps all over the place. Turbo is working properly, AFR gauge normal. Any clues what might cause this?

Those are good articles. At the very least check the hot and ground connection to the sending unit back on the engine (orange or faded red) rubber covered thing beneath the IC

If you have a nil connection, the gauge is pegged. So an intermittent bad connection will give you everything in between.
