Problems after boost gauge install

lets start at the begining of the install. first off i had to move the map sensor becuase durring the supercharger install i mounted it to the same bolt that the aic bracket was mounted to, and i had the hose in a U shap to the port on the side of the S/C. i moved the bracket up were it was suposed to go by the trottle body. i put my T piece for my boost gauge between the map sensor and the port on the supercharger. i didn't splice my hose i actually used the full hose, then put the T piece in and used the old stock hose to the map sensor.

Anyway the problem is its stalling when i try to go from a stop, and even when i take corners. the only way i could get home after leaving to test the guage was to rev it higher than normal to avoid stalling. I almost think my clutch could be going out, but its wierd that it would happen right after i put a boost gauge in, when it ran fine this morning.
I don't understand why everytime i try to do something to my car myself it gets @!#$ up.

One good bit of news with all my problems. I saw 5 PSI

Try taking the boost gauge out and just hooking the map sensor to that port.

I think you had a leak somewhere in how you had the T set up. Try T'ing off the FPR line instead, leave the MAP sensor on its own signal line.

mine is on the fpr line


what happens when you T-off the map line , the map gets a slightly different signal , and that causes the map to read incorrectly
