boost gauge
Okay so I just installed a boost gauge and it doesnt seem to be working. I know the trubo is building boost. I had a predrilled and tapped hole in the intake tube coming out of the turbo, so i ran the line out of that spot. There doesnt appear to be any leaks in the conections, so my question is what could be wrong?

think what you saying you have it tap up buy the turbo it should be tap on top flat top of the upper intake

Well if you got boost gauge from glowshift check back of the make sure the hole in fitting is open up i have seen plug on no hole in it and the fitting that goes also in intake plug

in the your first response to my question you said it should be in the top flat of the upper intake.....is that under the cover on the top of the motor? i know this is making me sound dumb by asking this butt i have to. I have built tons and tons of small block chevys and have never heard a reference to the upper intake.

yes you wil have take off and tap it it only 6 bolts that holes intake 1 bolt the hole the turbo to intake tube and one clamp
if you are just sitting there and spikes it and see gauge move that boost
if you just take off from dead stop and put to floor that gauge should move and when you hit 2000 to 2500 rpms it should be 8psi maybe hit 10psi and now that if have clean air filter and no exhaust leaks
