Default Boost gauge reading?
What do all your boost gauges read on idle?

If your gauge was at -14 and the BOV didn't work what would you look for because i cant find a ------ vac leak anywhere!

Tryed that, I wish i had put the boost gauge on N/A to see if it had a problem before i started!

TIP: Put boost gauge on and check for leaks before attemping anything first!

I have used 2 known workin BOV's now and no difference, tried usin a short piece of vac hose and having the boost gauge in my hand whilst fiddling, all the vac hoses have need replaced with new ones,

This is pissin me off!
