boost gage

My boost gage is not reading boost, it is just reading VAC. I have it T into the intake manifold. Any help would be greatly appreciated ???

Well, if your only running 1 psi, it's not going to do a spectacular sweep across the gauge. It's probably working, but you can't tell it is only hitting 1 psi.

Re:boost gage

Did you use teflon tape? If so, you might have threaded it the wrong way and a blocked your vaccume line. check and see. im sure your boosting.
