Gauges:somebody please help

okay so i just bought an 03 evo and it has a 3 pod gauge cluster on the pillar right by the window, they all illuminated when i started the car and didnt really think about it. so anyways after alittle driving i notice that my boost, air/fuel, and oil pressure dont move a bit.. i dont think the guy would be stupid enough to buy gauges just for it to look cool but you never know, how would i know if they are hook up right? just pull the pod pillar down and see if lines are connected?

pull the gauges out the pods and see if they have the senders plugged into them.... if they do try to find out where the senders are located and see if they are hooked up correctly

doesnt sound like thry're hooked up. ur boost and oil press would respond during wide open pulls, so watch them next time u hit it. sounds like u prob have a narrowband afr (lean/stoiciometric/rich reading only) which is pretty much useless. if u want new gauges, check out stewart warner..cheap and reliable. 42draftdesigns.com
