i have a 2nd gen 3sgte swapped in a 1995 celica. i installed an aem digital boost gauge. i have the gauge grounded properly an the positive side is connected to the radio fuse. i tried tapping into to locations to get a vacuum reading. first the map sensor line and second on the timing belt side of the the engine, on the intake manifold. i get wrong readings in both cases. i check the aem pressure sensor and everything checks out fine. any suggestion, or wisdom is greatly appreciated.

Use any nipple from the intake manifold. What do you mean wrong readings? What are you comparing it to?
