Boost Gauge issues.. MAP sensor?

I just got my truck running again. Did Head studs and had to replace the High pressure oil pump.

Now that it's running It is doing great. I hooked up my Edge Juice with Attitude for the gauges, and noticed that there was no boost on the gauge. At first I thought it was a turbo issue, but after continuously driving today it has plenty of power and no more or less lag that it used to.

I checked under the hood and found the gray plastic tube unplugged, but nothing changed on the engine or gauge when I plugged it in. The rubber hose from the top of the manifold up the the wiring that I think is the MAP sensor appears to be all secured with no cracks.

The truck is a 2004 6.0L automatic with 216k.

Is my attitude just shot? I think I'm gonna go with some new gauges anyhow, but just thought I'd get some insight in the meantime. Like I said, it seems to be running fine, just nothing registering on the gauge.

you should post this down in the 6.0 forum for the best advice.

If your turbo is spooling then I'd say you have a guage issue.
