its basically a vaccum gauge, when you rev the engine it should flip into neg boost if this is on your gauge. you wont see 'boost', apart from maybe a tiny spike into it and back when revving hard, until the engine is under load, ie driving, and the engine is actually making boost. dan |

take it off and suck/blow down a pipe it should move a fraction (or use a foot pump) if it doesn't move then it's broken. If it does move then your plumbing in the car is wrong. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Either blocked or something else wrong then :) start at the beginning.

You need to be out on the road driving. You won't make boost sitting on the drive revving it. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
