0psi Boost

Stuff? Little more description would help, but I suspect that you have a major boost leak from your description.

Even with a small leak, you should still be seeing SOME boost. What type of gauge is it? Electronic...or is it an analog gauge with a small piece of tubing going to your intake to read boost?

Maybe a silly question....but are you sure the gauge is working correctly?

Well...if the IC boot can't seal...You will get a huge boost leak...so that is the first problem to solve. If the clamp is upsidedown, it will act stripped...try inserting the bolt from the other side of the clamp....
