I hooked up my boost gauge yesterday and I tapped into the line from the FMU to the Intake. Reads 15 to 20 on the vacuum end of it at idle and low rpm.
I am running a powerdyne with what i guess is the pulley that came with it. When I get into the throttle the gauge goes back to zero and might get close to 2 lbs of boost.

Should I change where I have the gauge ran, like before the throttle body or should it show boost where it is. Or do I have another issue??? :mods:

Are you just free revving it? Not going to build much boost that way.

(Unless you have a twin screw :biggthumpup: hehe.)

No even when driving its that way. From reading other posts i am hooked up right just not getting the boost. I have to put baffles in my valve covers before I run it anymore. Getting oil blowing out of the breathers.Then I am gonna re-plumb the intake tube and seal the air hat better.
