I'd like to know how the mechanical boost/vac gauge in my car should be acting....currently it always reads '0' before starting the car....but it stays on the vacuum side during almost all driving....I haven't really mashed on the gas pedal yet to get the centri going, but is that normal....seems like the gauge hasn't even broken into + numbers yet....is it possible that something could be hooked up wrong....seemed too simple to fu*k up...just a little hose that I teed into the red line above the fuel rail....same hose that my bypass is feeding off of?

Working fine you need to be in boost to see something going the other way..lol SMASH the Pedal then you will see something different on the gauge.

go out and hammer down on that stang!!! the gauge will work fine, you just arent seeing any boost until the higher rpm's. mine shows only vaccume during regular driving
