Vaccum line directly on the manifold, i get a more accurate reading there. Some people use the same one as the FMU.

My mechanical gauge is tapped into my vaccuum tree while my PMS line has its own port off the intake. They both give me the same reading.

Mine runs directly into the lower intake. Do you have a stock intake? Most aftermarket intakes have a place to run the gauge to.

just one of the unused ports. I don't have cruise control so I just hooked it up to that port.

Alright............call me stupid if you want but I just can't seem to get the guage to work. I blew into the tube to see if the needle would move and it did so I know the needle isn't stuck. I plumbed into my vacuum line to the FMU and the guage didn't work either. I have tried a couple other lines and still nothing. Can someone send a diagram or a picture showing exactly which vacuum line I need to hook to. I have a Trick Flow Intake if this helps as far as picking a vacuum line. Help !

No vacuum leaks that I know of. The car runs very well with no drivability issues at all. I'll have a look at that line off the FPR and see if that works.
