Installing a boost gauge, opinions???

Hi guys.. i have a problem with my boost gauge.. is a ProSport Evo, it dont read the boost well.

My instalation is..

The electricity for the gauge was taken in the cigarrete car... and the solenoid electricity was taken in the battery car.. the conection (boost) was taken with the wastegate i think (because de mini r56 has the electronic dv).

Now the problem is that the gauge only read -27 and a maximum of -13.... any ideas???


Sorry about my really bad english...

Please note that it may take a day or two or more for someone with the knowledge to answer your question to return to the forums. And remember posting at almost midnight will not get you very many responses quickly.

But to me it does not sound like you are taking the pressure reading from the correct spot.

Should use one of these to get your boost tap.
