Default No VAC on boost gauge

I'm running a inlinepro stage 1 kit and getting the car tuned monday. I fired the car up for the first time today everything is in good working order. No oil leaks the AEM UEGO gauge is running super rich 10.0 which is actually as rich as it can read.

My issue is with my autometer boost gauge, I have the gauge T'ed in between the BOV and the vac lines under the fuel rail. I also have to the best of my knowledge all the vac lines closed up I don't think I have a leak but aside from the vac lines around the fuel rail i didn't touch anything else.

any ideas I figure the gauge should read about 20hg at idle in vac

I guess the other question would be should it read 20hg in vac, I don't imagine it should be at 0 in idle

you may have tapped into the lines for the evap purge. in which it wouldnt be pulling contantly.

remove it and "T" into your fpr and run your BOV from there and have that line split for your gauge as well. i have found that oem port to be best as far as consistency goes.

either your gauge is broken, or your t'd into a line that only see's boost and not vacuum. t into a line off the intake manifold. 100% should work then.

^agreed. you have evap, egr, and air blower lines in that rats nest. all of which would mess you up.

do the FPR line, you'll be all set my friend.
