Is the nylon line still hooked up to the gauge? I always hook them up on the FPR vacuum line.

I think you can hook it up to any open line in your vacuum tree.
Make sure the line doesn't have a leak in it.

grab a good ole school hooker, there good to about 8 to 10 pounds of boost, you hook her up to the other end of the gauge and get her to work and then thats a accurate reading , gotta use them fast tho they charge by time i think?

I vote bad tubing, or bad gauge, but if vacuum works then It should read boost. Check the tubing, then if thats fine I think you got ripped off with that gauge. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
