well when i first got my new boost gauge i rigged it in with the existing line (being that i didnt have enough of what came with the kit for a full install... went and bought new hose like 2 weeks ago... finally put it in and now the gauge just sits a 0... it was slgihtly larger than the diameter of the nipple on the gauge and on the head so i put zip ties on it to use as a redneck hose clampno idea what's up with the stupid thing i didnt even see it jump and then fall like it blew the line off or anything i'll have to look into it more tomorrow... good news is i got the flatbed on it today just gotta wire up the clearance and marker lights and put the rear pumper on it and it's ready for inspection and blacking out the road

it's vinyl or pvc; i'm thinkin it may be kinked up in the gauge pod... the truck has a anchient 3 pod dash mount... they dont make them anymore. i'm gonna take it off the side of the block and put some air to it and see if i didnt mess somethin up in the gauge... i tightened up the mount for the gauge too... it's a cheapie so hope i didnt mess with the internals... didnt make any noises or look distorted... who knows i'll take the pod loose and take the bends out of the hose er tube w/e you wanna call it and torque break it abit; see if i can get some boost...

wasnt up in the pod; when i put the throttle bracket back on the side of the truck it caught the tube and kinked it over twice; so it was kinked between the block and the bracket... got that fixed so no mroe problems; sorry for taking up space
