Something wasn't quite right with my boost gauge

I noticed when I bought my car the boost gauge wouldn't read vac so today I finally got around to tearing into it turned out that the BOV was hooked up to the T that ran to the MAP sensor and the boost gauge was hooked up to the back of the TB with 1/4 hose. Thankfully I had a new boost gauge sitting around so I installed that and re ran all the line and used the new install kit that came with it. I hate getting under the dash but if that's what I gotta do to get stuff done then so be it. Here is what I found when digging into it.

Now I got it all ran with the right stuff and it reads vac and everything works perfectly and the bov is hooked up to the back of the tb. I know it's not a major task but it's still nice that stuff is finally starting to come together.
