I have an autometer boost/vacumm and it seems fairly accurate.

I pull 20 lbs of vacumm at idle.

I can only get boost revving out of gear with the AC on.

I get about 19-20 lbs at wot. I can never see it excactly because the car keeps me busy at 19lbs of boost!

20lbs of vaccum?

try to tap into each line only once so you dont have 2 T's next to each other. if you need an example let me know ill throw up a nother pic. thats if ur haveing more then one boost guage if ur takeing the one out forget what i said.
