RE: FINALLY INSTALLED BOOST GAUGE!
I had the glowshift in my car, it lasted almost a year before the vacuum started going from 20in hg when warm to below the 30 mark. Also the needle would sit below the 0 when turned off. Switched to a autometer gauge and it went back to 20 and the boost was 2 psi higher than what the glowshift showed. It was a good gauge but you need to replace it if that starts happening to yours.

thats how AWE has it pictured in their install diagrams - but I've heard that is not a good place to go.

RE: FINALLY INSTALLED BOOST GAUGE!
it should be at ~20 when at operating temps. The lowest mine goes now is 22-23 after releasing the gas. At start up while the secondary air pump is on and my idle is at 1100rpms the guage says 12-14.
It sounds like you might want to change it for a new one. Plus where does the needle sit when you car is off? I should be at 0.

So the vac should NEVER go down to 30 then? When the car is off it is at 0. Sometimes it is just a hair under that.
