I installed a boost gauge today, long overdue since my wastegate is plugged...

I ran the line out of the 1/8" npt plug in the manifold, through the firewall and to the guage.
Once I wired everything up and started the truck I am not registering any boost at all. Checked the line for kinks and found none, the only thing I noticed was what appears to be condensation in part of the line (tube is clear). What gives?

Im done effing with it tonight and tomorrow may just run to work on my day off and get some vacuum line because I have heard of people having issues with the stiff line supplied w/gauges being cracked.

 

 

Did you check it while driveing down the rode?Your not going to see any boost pressure at an idle.Noticed your in monroe,do you know if dynomite diesel has any dyno days planned?

 

I did not head down the road but I did spool the turbo at a standstill to no effect. I will try running it through the gears under load tomorrow and see how that does but I couldnt register anything freespooling in neutral.

I have not heard any news from Dynomite on dyno days...but then again I refuse to purchase any parts from them, or set foot in their shop and they are one of the few shops in Monroe that does not have a commercial account at my work so I dont get much news from them.

Last I heard they were scaling things back after loosing 3 of their best techs to go work for Dan at Evergreen Diesel (also in Monroe)...thats what happens when you run a business like your **** dont stink and take your employees for granted.
