Ya I think you are reading you vacuum pressure

i dont understand how you could just read vaccum but not boost? if anything had to been connected to the output on the supercharger you would see boost but at the lowest read 0. i dont know what your T'd into that will show vaccum but not boost. odd..

wth boost it doesn't go into boost until you are full throttle... it'll read vacuum pressure until then which is below 0

say what? No that doesnt mean you reached 12.5 psi of boost. you went from normal engine vaccum to normal atmospheric pressure. perhaps as he said above, you werent on the gas long enough to build up any boost. If you floor it through the gears and you still dont read over 0psi then somethings up

that may be your issue. try tying the line into a diff vaccum line on other side of the intake that is not directly connected to the bpv
