Boost gauge install....cel and low boost
Had a boost gauge installed and it was tapped in the evap solenoid? On the left side front of intake manifold next to throttle body....and got a evap cel....he cleared the cel but still only seein 6-8 psi....disconnected battery and cleared ecu...no cel but still same boost....is that a wrong location for the vacuum line?....i disconnected boost line and ran it oem way and still low boost

Yup tap into BPV vacuum line by using T-tap adapter. You won't see boost go up if car is idling and when you try to rev but will see it once your moving. at least that's how mine works.

You might have pulled a fitting off the manifold causing a big boost leak. Does the car seem to run normally other than the low boost?
