Boost reading problem (scangauge 2)

Hi all. Thought I'd ask here to. I searched and could not find an answer


I installed the scangauge 2 in the 2002 Excursion 7.3 about 2 weeks ago. Entered all the xgauges I wanted and such. Everything was reading fine and I was seeing about 19psi of boost <acronym title="Wide Open Throttle">wot</acronym> (stock straight piped/ Waste gate)

This past weekend I installed a 4'' exhaust and the banks big head waste gate.
After I change those things I went to take it for a ride and the scanguage is not reading boost anymore?

Anyone know what could be causing the scanguage not to read the boost anymore?

Thanks

Well see my dad took the hose off the map sensor (to take the inter cooler pipe off and put new waste gate on) and didn't remember to hook it back up. I was not present when he took it apart so I had no clue a hose went to it.

Me: Did you forget to hook anything up (knew he did at the time)
Dad: No, Everything I took off I put back on
Me: Are you sure?
Dad: yes
Me: No hoses or anything?
Dad: Nope
Me: What about the hose going to a sensor on the passenger side
Dad: Oh yea I took it off with the needle nose
Me:
