R34 Boost Gauge Probs

[nsm034]

i got my boost controller fitted a week ago and now i've noticed the boost gauge freezes on zero , even when the cars not running. you turn the key off and the needle drops to the bottom. had a look under the bonnet and the hose that goes from the bov to that little round thing had blow off but it put it back on but still no go. any ideas?

The boost gauge hose actually comes from the back of the manifold if i'm correct.

If you look at the engine from the front of the car, than look up the top left of the engine bay you should see a small plastic hose plugging into the back of the engine up the top it's about 3mm piece of hose and than goes back into the firewall..

I'd check that and see that he hasn't pulled it out or blocked it..

Yep, hooks in to the back of the maifold. Make sure is there and hooked up and you don't have a vacuum leak. Check the ends of the hose for cracks.

excellent work guys thanks. Was up the back on the left hand side. the bloke that fitted it put a t piece in there and the hose had split . chopped of the split bit hooked it up, turned it on and the needle dropped to the right spot on the gauge. thanks again guys

kept splitting so i went to repco - $2.70 a metre if anyone was wondering

I had the same problem today.

The hose was really hard to get back on the T peice. I managed to get it on up to the line thats about half way, I hope it stays on.
