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.

The map sensor needs a dedicated vacuum source to output the correct voltage to the ecu based off of the pressure. Most things that connect to vacuum will have a pressure sensing disk thing or shifting diaphragm that will change the vacuum/boost on the map sensor(or boost gauge), and thus change the voltage reading that the map sensor outputs based off the vacuum/boost. I'm not saying that this is the culprit for your incorrect readings on your boost gauge, but it does need a dedicated line to get the most accurate reading.
