Default Did you follow the line to the intake manifold to make sure it wasn't placed on a different

side then mine? That hose should lead you to the left side of your intake manifold, slightly right of the FPR line.. What type of connections did you use? have any pictures of the install?

Default there is a small pipe coming off on the rightside of the intake manifold..

you will see that this little pipe is directly connected to the intake manifold (where the pressure/vacuum occur)

you want to tap into this pipe.



other place would be to tap into the small pipe conecting to the Diverter Valve.



make make sure your connections are air tight and no air leak.


good luck.

Default Did you try and see if there are any leaks? Are you 100% sure the boost gauge is in working order?

This is strange.. did you check the connection at the manifold to make sure it didn't fall off?
