Boost Gauge Help!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I just got my Whipple on a few weeks ago and just hooked my gauges up. I have the AEM digital a/f and boost gauges. We tapped into the vac line in the front and it reads vac fine but when i boost it goes to 0. Any ideas why? So we have to hook it up somewhere else? Thanks for the input!

I'm not positive with the whipple, but the magnuson has a dedicated barb at the rear of the manifold that is used for boost reference. If you are tapping into a barb before the rotors then you aren't going to see boost.

Thanks for the input! We just fixed it... We had to go under the supercharger!

Maybe you hooked it to a vacuum line instead of the boost line?
