boost gauge not reading correctly
I recently installed a 3 gauge pod. Upon completion the only time the boost gauge moves is whan I'm approaching 2500 rpm and it only goes to 6 or 8 psi. Just to test it I set my air compressor to 2 psi and blew through the line running to the gauge and it read the correct psi. I have T'd in to the map sensor line.
Any thoughts?

welcome to FTE 
sounds like you have a boost leak..check all 4 IC boots and the 2 boots in the valley for loose clamps,cut or split boots..also make sure the map line is not leaking...

Ok. So I checked all the boots and they seem to be fine. Sprayed some soapy water on them just to double check for leaks and found no bubbles. If it was a boost leak wouldn't I notice a drop in power. I can't say that I have lost any power. I pull a work trailer and have no problems.
