Boost gauge
Hey guys here is a quick question on a Glow Shift boost gauge... I have installed all my gauges finally lol and my EGT and Trans temp gauges seem to be working fine but I am not getting a reading on my Boost gauge even though it's a manual gauge... I have three power wires for the boost gauge one full time power and the other two are switched power.... I ran all my full time power into one connector and all my switched power into one connector my question is do I need to run each of the boost switched wires into different power sources for some reason.... I hope someone has run into this problem lol...

Any one know of a reason why a turbo wouldn't show any boost on a gauge maybe a clogged line or something? I checked the fitting where the boost line comes out of the valve cover and nothing is blocking it....

I got it to read and I am doing 5lbs of boost when the truck is floored and at 3000rpm.... I am thinking something is wrong haha either with the gauge or the turbo... When I turn my chip to its highest setting my truck misses a bit then the check engine light comes on and the ol girls runs perfect and can hit 11lbs of boost lol still not very much.... I pulled a 1211 Injection Control pressure not controllable-pressure above or below desired... I am not sure what this code means or if these trucks have another injection control module other than the IDM since its new...

It's made by scorpion Diesel it's a rather cheap chip I can't remember where I picked it up... It does the job though but in its highest setting it causes that hesitation and the eng light to come on....

Well I can gurneys chip on thenlower two settings and it's fine when it's on high and I push it hard the cel comes on but te trucks runs better than when the light is off lol.... Once I cycle the key the light goes off and stays off... I'm getting the code I mentioned above.
