boost guage not shoing boost
Wednesday, April 11, 2007 10:15 AM
alright i finished my turbo install last night. everything is done except the fact that it needs to be tuned. i took it for a little drive around the block to see if everything was ok. it would lightly feel the boost and notice that there is still 0 on my boost guage. i have everything T to the manifold, and i am using a manual boost controller. any idea of what might be the problem.

so you're t'd into the manifold after the throttle body correct? check to make sure the nylon hose isn't that the gauge comes with isn't kinked. Does it read vacuum or just boost? and finally, are you sure your wastegate is connected??

yes i am T'd into the manifold after the throttle body. the guage only reads boost no vacuum. the waste gate is connected. when i took it for a drive i can feel the boost but the guage doesnt read anything, it just sits at 0

if you have a blowoff valve you could run your boost line from that and do it that way. are you sure your actual guage isnt messed up?

I'll have to look more closly at the line that goes to the boost guage, maybe ill try a new line. thanks
