Where do you have it plumbed to?

If you suck/blow on the hose end does the needle move?

When the car is running does the hose have suction at the gauge?

it moves when I blow/suck on the line...in the t fitting there's a brass insert on the line to the gauge...I looked on the forum where to hook it up too.

Those lines u get with mech boost gauges suck. Try to find a rubber line kit. Which uses normal vac line. Much better

It was the one under the engine cover in between the engine and supercharger. My guess is when the engine was replaced someone ran the hose wrong and the cover kinked it off when they installed it.
