Just installed Greddy boost gauge/BOV not working?(pics)

Here are a few pics of the hoses where I am having problems. The sensor for the gauge is by the charcoal canister. Where did I go wrong?

Yeah, it seems as though the B,ham area has quite a few 7's, but I have only met one person here that has one.

Here are the online instructions. Why would You hook up a boot gauge to the fpr?

You cannot use all those T's in there.
That's why the BOV will never trigger.

How would you suggest to get around using them? I reworked it and everything is in working order now.

Thanks

Keep the BOV on the straightest path.

**** the stock boost sensor - it can use one of the "legs" of the T.
In fact, the stock line has a restrictor pill in it.
Running the stock boost sensor through a leg will dampen the pulses similarly.

This goes the same for the boost gauge.

The t that came with the gauge has a restrictor that runs to the sensor. I got it to work, but I will try to clean it up and give the bov a straighter path.

Thanks
