NEED SOME HELP WITH BOOST GAUGE
I have the autometer ultra-light boost gauge, for some reason it won't work. I installed it in one of the 4 vacume ports in the mini-ram, if I disconnect it from the mini-ram and blow compressed air in the line it works but when it's hooked back up to the mini-ram it won't. :mad
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Rich

Is the port on the manifold working. When the engine is idling put your finger over the port see if you feel vecuum maybe the port is plugged or try the gauge on another port. Will the gauge show vacuum and no boost if so how much pressure did you have on it when it worked. If you used line pressure from the compressor you probably damaged the gauge.
