i wouldnt trust any of those hillbillies at autozone here with my stuff

 

Go to Autozone. All they will do is give you the code, then you come on here and post it. We will tell you what to check.

The spot you plugged it in is fine, it should read 20hg when idle, so right there you are having an issue. Does your guage read 0 when you turn off the car?

 

Sorry dude you are wrong on that.. Hooking it up to the vac line on the front of the intake is the most convienient and reliable place to put it. Some people have had vaccuum issues by hooking it up where you are talking about. (which might be the reason you yourself are having off vaccuum #'s as you posted about before.) You should do it the way APR's instructions say from their website. Mine and many others is conncected to the vac line on the intake mani and have ~20 vac. Here's the link for the way it should be donefollow the link to the Boost gauge pod installation under A4) http://goapr.com/Audi/support/index.html

You can get your car scanned, but its likely that you have hooked it up wrong. Youll have to get hooked up to a scanner to reset the cel anyway though. You can buy a scanner that reads and clears codes for $70 or less on ebay. But with vag com (can get it at www.ross-tech.com ) you can do a lot more.

They might be hillbillies, but theyd have to be retarded to screw up plugging in a scanner.

 

totally agree the biggest problem it the TP sensor (throttle position sensor) it plays havoc with upgrades

 

if its chipped which I doubt the TP sensor is shot or the wiring/plug connector is the problem, check for clean connections and wiring shorts

 

Have you tried the TB adaptation? It seems that when my car is acting up doing weird things, doing a TB adaptaion solves all.

 

No, it reads 2-3 psi when i turn off the car...

 

lol then i would say something is fucked with the guage...... send it back

 

either that or its just a really aggressive chip!!

 

Well if you guage reads 2-3 when the car is off, then your guage is screwed up and isn't accurate. Some guages have the ability to be reset, others do not.

If you got it second hand, you are probably SOL. If you bought it new, call the place you got it from and let them know.
