Not sure where I should put this but...
I recently installed the STRI boost gauge on to my car which is tapped at the BPV vacuum line. Before installing it, I checked with my Cobb AP ver 2 and I was hitting about 15-16psi with a stage 2 ACN map. Anyhow I the check vacuum hose and T fitting for leaks but there is none that I can hear or feel. I am only hitting 8-9psi on the STRI boost gauge and the COBB realtime data. I have resetted the ECU and reflashed to stock to no avail. Any suggestions on a fix would be great.
Thanks,
Kenneth
BTW... I have Cobb stage 2 map, Helix UP, Helix JDM Down, Gram Lights Exhaust and Greddy Sandwich adaptor with oil temp and pressure sensors that are working properly if that matters.

Duct tape the connections.
No seriously, jk.
What hoses did you use? Nylon or rubber? Fat or skinny hoses? My autometer came with a small clear tube hose and I boost 13.5 stock.
Check your hoses again and again or just buy new hoses, there may be a leak somewhere between your connection and your boost gauge, doesn't have to be at the connection.

Please close this thread. I replaced the T fitting after noticing one of the ends was clogged. Everything works fine now.
Thank you everyone for your sugegstions. =)
