Idling bout -20On my second new gauge now and it do the same thing ! rrrrrrrr.Have obviously searched this and found no answer.Have tried both the following with no joy;" And just T it in between the intake manifold and BOV is probably easiest. Or T it between intake manifold and fuel reg. "is on an 03 xr6T ute with rapid V1 cooler.Does that vacume fitting on manifold have a return valve in it on early NZ BA's ??Can I put a fitting somewhere else perhaps ?thx all Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80231-boost-gauge-vacume-only-prob/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why it wouldn't register when revving in neutral.
