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.

but would that cause the gauge to read 22psi at idle?

QUOTE (garin @ Mar 30, 2013 - 6:12 PM)  but would that cause the gauge to read 22psi at idle? are you sure it's psi and not kpa? my car is 33 kpa at idle according the the autronic display. If your aem boost gauge is like my aem wideband gauge (which I want to sell if anyone is interested) it has a selector switch on the back where you can change the output to the gauge display or to the aftermarket ecu that you are running -------------------- -Jay
