Boost gauge install help!!!!

I had the model number wrong, it's Sunpro CP7025.

Ok, now it makes sense. The 7025 is a mechanical gauge, so once you connect the vacuum line it works. Since it only does boost and not vacuum, you will not see any activity when you start the engine, rev it, or even drive around. You will need to take it out and floor it to see it move. The manifold is under vacuum most of the time and gets boost when you give it heavy load. You should see around 7 psi max in first gear and 14 psi max in other gears. The wiring for the blue and white wires are the same as I said above.

I opted for vacuum line instead of the nylon crap that came with it.I'm still undecided on a gauge pod or bracket to mount the gauge.

When I get the funds to do my gauge project I have been planning, I am going to mount them in the spare DIN spot under the radio.

I got the gauge to work,but took an unconventional route for the vacuum line.I need to get some teflon tape to fix a leak at the gauge because even at full throttle and it turning over 5,000 rpm all I get is 5 psi and a very loud hissing noise.Pics of the route for the vacuum line will be posted soon,it will work until I have the time to run it through the firewall.
