Exclamation Greddy Electric Boost Gauge Install

Has anyone installed an electric greddy boost gauge? After I hooked mine up, it stays around 500 g/mmsqrd. Well below 0. It bounces a little bit but never reaches 0. It came with a three-way connector that hooks between the fuel pressure regulator, the sensor and the nipple on the intake. According to the gauge installation instructions, the only reason you have to hook up the 3-way connector is if your needle is bouncing all over the place. I haven't hooked this up yet because I am still not sure what the fuel pressure regulator looks like. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone has installed this gauge and whether they hooked up the 3-way connector or not, and if it makes a difference. Thanks for the help.

Guys, you don't do anything with the fuel pressure regulator.

Just attach the vacuum line for the gauge or the map sensor for the gauge to the unused nipple on the passenger side of the upper intake manifold.

Most people go with a manual boost gauge. Much simpler.

Rynberg is right............again!!

I ended up just attaching directly to the unused nipple .. I don't know why the installation guide even mentioned the fuel pressure regulator .. I don;t even care at this point ... it works so I'm happy!!
Thanks for the help
