I thought the same thing when I did my first gauge install! LOL



It is normal to have zero boost at idle, as well as any low power situation.

turbos need a load to spool.

I had the same concerns. Went so far as to slick the tube in a glass of water. It looks as is there is a slight vac on idle as the water started up the tube.



One thing I did different than what i've read here is I magnetized the drill bits and tap along with grease. It worked slick.

It worked slick.

It must have been the grease. :-laf
