Boost Gauge not reading right...

I installed the Intercepter today. Everything is hooked up right. Now the stock boost gauge doesn't read right. It only shows boost to about 10-11psi and vacum drops to aorund. 30 where before it would stay around 19 in vacum. The Intercepter reads everything right. Showing vacum at about 19-20 and boost up to about 16. Other notes I do have a 2.9 pulley. Any thoughts as to why the stock gauge doesn't work right now???
I have searched for some answers and can't find a dam thing.

That's fine. But it worked fine this morning and after the Intercepter is when it fd up this afternoon. So I think it is just something simple I am not seeing or haven't thougt to look at.

Check to make sure the electrical leads for the boost gauge didnt get bent/pulled out/crushed/cut..etc.

Theres not a whole lot you can do since its a electric gauge...if it was mechanical...id say you have a boost leak.

But your car should NEVER see -30 In Hg(Vac) while on...only when off. You should be right around -20
