boost gauge hookup

I hooked it up where the plug is in the intake below the intake horn. I wasn't getting a reading just sitting still and pressing the throttle. Do I need to drill and tap the horn or did I get the ferrules to tight mabey and pinch the line?? Any idea's?

Thanks,

Owen

You wont get any boost if the engine isn't under a load. That's perfectly normal. Go out and drive it and you'll see the guage move

Yeah what the other guys said. When I first installed my boost gauge, it would not move at an idle or even when I revved the engine. But when I got out on the road and romped down on it the boost gauge moved real quickly!

Ok, thanks. That's what I thought. I told him to call me if there were any problems.
