From what I understand you need like a small T adapter that you can get at AutoZone to tap into any vacuum line, so at that point it is routing to the boost gauge.

after looking a the picture my stock gauge must be bad. All I am getting is -4 on the thing. I can tell that it is boosting.

thanks

Your stock one is electric and gets its signal from the boost sensor under the hood. Are you sure its hooked up? There is no vacuum running through the firewall for that, the pressure sensor is near the drivers side shock tower just in front of where the cruise control is. Make sure its got the vacuum source hooked up and the electrical connector plugged into it. GL.

Yea, to the left of my hand (couple posts up) you can see the boost sensor.. It's black with a silver sticker on it.. There is a vacuum line connected right under it. If it is connected there, then trace it back to the back/top of the firewall and make sure all those lines are connected..
