I'm still betting on the line being kinked. Tapping it in a different spot shouldn't make any difference.

Im betting on the line being kinked as well. Trace that teflon hose back to the gauge. Also re tapping the line all over the car is only going to create boost leaks. Not help find them.

If you can't figure out which one is the FPR, you are in trouble. Do you even know what or where the FPR is??

im having a similar, but not exact same problem. i get perfectly fine boost readings, but i am showing 0 vacuum. i know this is incorrect, im pretty sure i have the right line tapped, it is between the fpr and the fps.

The fpr is on the end of the fuel rail on the timing belt side.

Tap the line between the intake manifold and the FPS, not FPS and FPR.

Please learn to spell properly!! Replace the stupid hardwire with some silicone hose and adapt it to your needs. What the fuck is a gournment?? It' through and grommet.

I can't believe people get on me for less than this crap!!
