I hooked my boost gauge up today its reading only 3psi not even close to 5. Is there a problem we checked all connection the line is not bent and the T fitting is in good. The only question is I have the Joe P FP kit installed on another vac hose will that lessen the boost. Also is the plastic line suppose to be inside the T fitting i have the rubber gromet over the line witch is on the T fitting. Please any ideas why i get 3PSi.
IM reading 3 psi on my boost gauge i installed today whats wrong?

i get low readings on mine as well,
but that's because i have the FPR kit and boost gauge on the same line. I'm reading 4 and sometimes 5. It was steady 6 before the FPR kit.
The guys at the shop where i do my installs said that i will get lower readings with FPR kit no matter where i install it, but i believe Joe more, so i will relocate the gauge and see what happens
.
On wendsday i will be relocating my boost gauge, i'll let u know how it goes.

I have tried everything tonite it wont read more than 3psi wont even get close to 5psi even at full throttle in second or 3rd. WTF!!!!! My buddy says put clamps on the ends of the T fittings so no air can escape from the hose on the T. I checked for vacum leaks didnt hear any hising sound or sucking sound. Now the dam light on the gauge dosent work i hooked it to the radio fuse under the dash it will not come on. HELP ME!!!!

I prefer the plastic for some reason.. Probably because it is easier to adapt to the gauge. Who knows.. just personal preference though. You do have to be very careful with it though- it likes to kink- especially if you are pulling it through the firewall and one lf the loops catches on the other side.Dr.Sound said:

if you look at that one site that has the gauge install pics (don't have the link, but it is the one that has been going around), look at the 5th pic. You will see the clear line that he replaced "that short one" that you mentioned with. Off to the right of that, you will see another 3/16" line going to a yellowish checkvalve and a larger hose coming off the valve. Go to that 3/16" line.
