Boost Gauge/Bov vaccum lines?

Hey everyone, I recently installed a custom turbo kit into my 02 lancer and I'v been running it on low boost to kinda feel it out. I can't seem to figure out why my boost gauge isn't registering boost. It's only showing the vaccum. Can anyone post up a picture of where your boost gauge and bov vaccum lines tie in at? I just want to make sure the bov is tied in right as well. Thanks!

hook your boost gauge on a positive boost source such as a vac port on the intake manifold

Where do you have the line connected to? Connect it to the fuel pressure regulator line from the manifold to the actual FPR, very common place!

Ok, I see what you mean on that part. Any ideas on the Bov? Same place?

Yep, you can also connect the BOV vac line to the FPR vac line. I have a PCV delete, so i have my BOV line connected to its own independent source on the TB, but the FPR will work good.

Sweet! Seems to be working well. I had everything hooked up right, ended up being a crappy boost gauge. I really appreciate it!
