Default So now rather than weak/nonexistant vac/boost to the gauge you have weak/nonexistant

vac/boost to the BPV. The guage should work fine with the smaller T leg running to it. If it doesn't I'd suggest ditching that T and getting another that isn't ishy.

Default I rather doubt it is the smaller diameter (unless there is a small leak in the gauge). I use a T

that has one leg smaller to plumb up to the gauge and read just fine. There isn't any 'flow' thru the gauge so orifice size (within reason) ought not be a factor. I think you either have a gunny T or a leak in the gauge or gauge plumbing.
