Installed AEM digital boost gauge

Installed the AEM digital boost gauge i used the zzp gauge pillar and tapped into the stock boos gauges red and black wire. the instruction said the blue and white wires were not needed in order to run the gauge, so after the install the gauge does not read boost just has these 2 dash marks on it, i done disconnected it and connected it everywhere just to see if i can get a reading and nuffn, cars still pulls hard and makes boost i just cant see it.

Just go buy an add-a-fuse and tap it into one of the cars inside fuses. Easy as pie.

did you run the wires for the electronic sender to the back of the gauge? theres 2 different wire harness' one for the sender and one to actually give it power. both need to be installed. check your pins as ive had them come not bent down all the way which gives poor contact and doesnt read and also check the voltage to your sender as ive had them come bad before.
