Boost guage reading vac. searched
I know this is a stupid ? but I am new to turbos. Simply put I have connected the line from my aftermarket boost guage to evry nipple on the car to determ what one works. Where I thought and then searching reveld same awnser was T it into the PS line. SonicRat said use a nipple on the TB or behinde it basicly after the flapper doors. So I tryd the 3 nipples right behinde the TB towrds front of car. My line for the PS runs like UIM - T--BOV - more line T -- boost guage -check valve - PS
All emishions are removed from engin. Ither way the guage only reads VAC 18inhg at idle and neer 30 at higher reves.

Actually it's a pressure sensor on turbo and a boost sensor on an NA IIRC. Anyways it's on the passenger side strut tower.
Unless I totaly have this whol section routed to the wrong nipple.

I'm confused by your first post. Where is your vac source for the pressure sensor and anything else you have tee'd off it. The 3 nipples on the front of the UIM (near the TB) do not all read vac and boost. Only the top and bottom of the 3 in the front read vac and boost. The middle is only vac I believe.

I have the PS and BOV T'd coming from the single nipple in the middle right next to the BAC and above the ACV. I allso hooked my boost guage with a T here as well and got VAC only.

Well I figured if BOV is going off when reved its building boost. When I rev it the guage dives into VAC. Guage works I used a VAC/boost presure tester on it. I will drive it and see when car is driveable

Like I said before, I like to runt he pressure sensor/bov off the nipple on the UIM near the passanger side of the car, near where the BAC is. For gauges, I generally use those on the TB. Most of the time you won't be able to build boost just revving in neutral so this could probably explain why you never see it. Just because the blow-off valve sounds doesn't mean it's building boost.

The only difference between NA and TII MAP sensors is how high they read up to. The TII sensor goes up to around 15psig positive pressure (30psi absolute) and I believe the NA sensor reads up to 2-3psig (17-19psi absolute), which makes it a pretty crappy "boost" sensor.
