Boost gauge, compression fitting question
How tight do I tighten this thing down? I think I may have over tightened it, both ends. The gauge shows zero boost so maybe the ferrell cut the tubing???

That's true, but still I doubt it is over tight. More likely crimped.

I don't know how I could of cut the line just routing it, maybe it's kinked. I'll recheck in the morning. Should the gauge move a little at idle or gas it in neutral, mine's completely dead. This will help for tomorrow. I may go the Home Depot and pick up a couple new ferrells anyway. Thanks.

Put a little load on it, the gauge doesn't go anywhere in parked but can fly when your on the move with a good tuner.

I even put it in drive, held the brake and brought it up a bit but the needle was still dead. I thought it needed a little load so I tried that, we'll see tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
