prosport boost gauge problem

silvasooby · 04-03-2008, 01:28 PM

orderd a prosport boost gauge last week...got it this week and put it in yesterday....ran the power from my cig light and ran the wires for the electric sender unit thru the firewall right by the pedals...GAUGE lights come on but NO BOOST!! they give you this little filter they say to put inline with the sender unit. i ran the unit right off my BOV tubing, a lot of people on here said thats the best place! WHY IS THERE NO BOOST READING??

people said on here their sender units were bad and ask the company for a new one...how can i tell? and is there anything im missing? i know the orange and white wires off the harness dont need to be connected? i should be getting boost pressure HELP@!!!!

I'm not by my scehmatics right now, but im fairly sure when i hooked mine up i used all the wires. And yes you do use that black wire coming off of the BPV valve. you splice it there and use the provided T fitting.

What color is the gauge lighting up?

Double check your wiring, if it still is correct to you contact Prosport as you may need to acquire a new sender unit.
