Boost control Help

[JerseySlim]

I have an Extreme Tech manual boost controller on my 98 GST, with an Injen intake. I have an Autometer Phantom boost gauge but it's not workin properly. With the controller all the way open i'm reading 8 PSI at WOT, but as I increase the gauge won't read above 11psi it's like it's sticking there??? The T fitting that I used to hook it up didn't come with the gauge so a put together a brass fitting 1/4 in center which comes down to 3/8 in barb fitting for the splice on each side. the other end is used all the parts that came with the gauge. Any ideas would help 8 PSI is killing me thanks

I'd worry about your WOT when your MBC is wide open.. if your gauge is not working properly, then you can fry your car!

Just ditch the hose, go to autozone and get ONE plastic T splitter, and some vaccuum hose Just blow on the back of your gauge really hard to see if it at least works. You might have a kink in your system, or maybe your MBC isn't hooked up properly. Be careful with the boost!
