BOOSTGAUGE
 
Boost gauge seems not to respond properly when i turn on the car it reads 0 but after i run for a while then it reads righ so i think first i had a vacume line on it but then i replace it with a guage kit with the plastic line dont know what else to try HELP ME :S

Sounds like the plastic line is slightly kinked.

Off of what port? Run it off of the FPR or PCV vac source either one should be good, maybe you are running off something that dosen't open untill after your car warms up

cool but do u think it will still b ok if i left it there even though the gauge dosent read till warm up i mean the gauge reads after that but i was woundering if i had a leak but i just didnt understand y it didn't work till it got warm but like i said it seems to be reading fine

your car boosts but the guage dosen't read it till its warmed up, yea i'd say there is either a leak in the tubeing or the vac source isn't good, you could also see if you could borrow someone elses gauge and see if it does the same thing in your car
