I never had any readings from my boost gauge, since installing my supercharger. Now I'm still trouble shooting the problem but I have the nut and ferrule mounted to the fitting on my typhoon intake, could this be the problem why I'm not reading any boost? I don't get it the vaccum lines exit out of that intake anyway so shouldn't I read boost there?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

yep, you should have boost there. can you tell if it is leaking badly? i bet you would hear a whistle. does the gauge read vacuum alright?

Honestly I can't hear anything out of the ordinary, well can't hear anything over the engine anyways. I have a autometer phanton boost gauge just boost no vaccum. But my gauge doesn't move at all even reving to 6k.

Just wondering though Is there anything i have to remove from the gauge when installing it, like when i did my fuel pressure gauge, I had to run a screw into the back of the gauge and remove the internal plug, I didn't do this for the boost gauge but it wasn't specified to do so.

Whats wierd is i'd assume to see some movement even with a leak when reving.

Are you going up to 6k at part throttle? You should only make boost above 3k at WOT.
