Boost Gauge Not Reading Correctly??

[jcanady]

Well I recently finished my Sr swap. I installed my boost gauge and manual controller. The gauge only reads about -20ish and only 5 psi when i'm in boost. I kept upping the boost but nothing changes. I'm pretty sure the boost is still turning up because it feels slightly faster every quarter turn. I want to run a safe level of boost and get an accurate reading so this is quite frustrating.

Where is the boost gauge tee'd in at? take pictures of all lines and boost controller lines. post here. wait for replies

^^Yup. Boost gauge needs to be hooked up to the intake mani to read proper vacuum & boost. Don't tee it into your FPR line if you find yourself having to tee it.

It is tee'd into the a vacuum line running to the throttle body and that is probably my issue. Does anyone have a picture of where on the intake manifold they hooked it to? That would be greatly appreciated.
