Default Boost gauge dead- showing no boost reading at all for no reason...

Totally odd thing today, driving around a bit and my boost gauge was working fine. Somewhere in the next hour I notice that my boost gauge is sitting at 0psi, and not moving. Doesn't feel like a boost leak any where, drove her kinda hard to test. I have no clue what changed within that hour that would leave the gauge at 0 without a boost leak. Thoughts? Going to tear into the car maybe tomorrow. Any thoughts on better options for running a hose other then that PITA nylon one?

Default I'm thinking there is SOME reason...

My guess? It's the gauge. Check all your connections. If the car feels normal, it's probably fine. You'd notice zero boost without the gauge telling you...

Check the gauge and good luck

Default If you are using Nylon, get rid of it... I had to change mine daily due to leaks...

I couldn't feel the leaks either, I was making good power, it was not enough to register on the gauge though... Try using some rubber hose for window washer fluid...
