S/C Boost Gauge

Hey for those of you who are supercharged and have the boost gauge, did any of you have any issues with the gauge being damaged or a kinked line? The reason I ask is that at WOT I am only showing at the most 2lb of boost. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the charger, so I am wondering if any of you had issues with the gauge. Thanks everyone!

I just installed my boost gauge yesterday. Are you "t" ed into the boost port at the back of the s/c where the fuel reg is?? My gauge reads 20 lbs. of vac at idle and then 6 to 6 1/2 lbs. of boost at full throttle. Let me know if you need to see how mine is hooked up since we are about 4 miles apart.

Sounds like a leak at a connection...Did you use teflon tape?
