So I ordered a pair of stri x-line gauges on the classifieds here. When I went to hook up the boost gauge I used the vaccuum line going into my factory gauge that was previously hooked up. I connected the new line to the existing factory hose and ran it up to my gauge like normal. Everything seems to work fine except the gauge wont really read past 12 or so psi. When I hooked up my Utec it said I was running 17 pounds like I should be..
Any imput is appreciated.. Thanks:banana:

Yes it is a stage 2 Utec.. it should be 16.5 psi.. Do you think shortening the vacuum line would help any?

i think some punk just took your money and sold you a used broken boost gauge. don't worry they will get theres in the end when they least expect it.:diaf:

Anyone has an issue of mechanical boost gauge needle fluctuating from 15-18psi like crazy at WOT? I had tightened all fitting, but it's still doing it.
