Ok Guys I know a bunch of you have installed the AWE Vent Boost Gauge.(oh and 1.5hrs HAHA took me almost 3) I think I might have done something wrong but after reading there instructions over and over again I can't think of it.
The Problem: I'm only getting a vaccum reading and not boost. I think it could be were my T junction is placed. If someone could take a picture of were their T junction is I can see if thats the problem. Then again you all may already know. Any and all help is apreciated.

 

pmed since these forums still wont let me post!!! someone fix them!

 

I'll try to take a pic today. I know that the "T" fitting was one of the problem areas of my install as well. I had to cut it down a bit to fit, and then realized that cutting it down meant there was less fitting on each side to fit the hoses over. It still worked fine, but I remember clamping those hoses down pretty tight to make sure they didn't go anwhere. You said you're only reading vacuum - do you notice a performance change since the install? In other words, have you now lost your boost (leak), or is the gauge just not reading correctly?

 

No problems with performance. Still runs great it just reads the vacuum aspect and not the boost. Think I may have put it on the wrong side of the regulator.?

 

Oh and thanks all for the help still stumped.

 

Is there a shop near your that would know what to check for ect..? If your in socal I can give you a great place that fixed mine

 

Yeah I know a bunch of great places in SoCal too. But I now live in Montana so its all me.

 

Ah bummer, hopefully you get this figured out

any way you can take a picture of where you tapped in and stuff?

 

Check to make sure the fitting on the brake boost line is tight as well. That loosened on mine after I did the install. Recheck all connections because you definitely have a leak somewhere. Happy hunting.



Cheers!

 

Checked around and everything has been double checked and still getting that reading. Question is was it the hard line or the soft line that I should have replaced. I believe I have a picture But its on the camera at home so I will post it later and maybe that is my problem. Thanks for the help
