Well you have to be making positive boost for it to register boost. Otherwise it will read vacuum under normal operation. Drive it WOT and it will make it out of vacuum and into boost. I don't know if you can even make boost without driving under load.

vas nailed it. Go drive it. Revving your engine in the garage isn't going to do anything but make noise.
Do some searching online and see how much vac you should be pulling at idle at your elevation. If its low you either have leaks or a weak engine. A vac gauge can tell you alot about your engines health.

What they said, to see boost you have to make boost. With the SC you can see it for a second if you go full WOT while free revving but best to just go WOT while driving.
