Default Boost gauge finished. Needle doesn't move!
I'm really puzzled here. I did everything right as I can tell. The tee is in place, the gauge lights up, I have ample boost as before, but the damn needle on the gauge won't budge. Any ideas?

Default did the 'T' have a little reducer valve in it? if so, maybe you put it on the wrong way...
at least what i remembered from my install. and you tapped it from the FPR?

Did you hook it up to the secondary air injector instead of the FPR? That's what I did...

Default Per Autometer's instructions, this is how I did it. See link

Default Don't think so. On a 180 the FPR is on top of the fuel rail...>>>
Where is the "secondary air injector"?

Gauge looks mighty pretty, but like food, it doesn't do any good sitting there.

you are driving the car to test boost, right? not just at idle.
