Hi there,
Just make sure that your source(vac/boost) is from the intake manifold. Just use a "vacuum tee" to tap into any vacuum line coming from your intake manifold.

Good luck

well I tried teeing into the line on the fuel rail, the fuel pressure regulator i think it is, because I noticed that a line goes into there from my BPV so I figured I would do it there after I broke some of the red vac lines going into the plenum. I did it and the gauge doesnt read anything.

Hi there,
When you said the guage did nothing did you run the car up to boost? is this a vacuum/boost guage or just a boost guage? Also, I would use another vacuum port instead of the one you tried.
