Boost Gauge Location

Hey guys alright i just got a boost gauge and i put it in my car i used the empty spot on the intake manifold on the passager side (sorry no pics) Problem is its not reading anything. I tried to put it over where the clutch vac line is and it didn't do anything also. So crappy boost gauge or is just in a bad spot?
Thanks,
Kyle

make sure your tube/hose isn't cracked. And that your connections are tight.

typically on a a/f guage there are 3 wires. ground, power and sending line... the sender wire goes to one of those damn wires on teh 02 sensor... but for a turbo car i recommend a wideband...

Plus most of the time people a running stock ecu a a/f meter is useless.. no way of tuning it really....
