Default Need Help: Not Boosting

A friend of mine helped me change out my plugs and we also replaced the sleeves for my Vortech piping. Plugs went in fine and got everything wrapped up but my boost guage is not showing a vacume and I'm not boosting anymore. Any ideas?

If it's not showing a vacuum nor boost... then your motor is either not running and there are gremlens pushing it, or your boost gauge is broken.

I agree there is something wrogn with the gage or the hose for the guage is disconnected.

If you mean that the car doesn't build up boost during opration then one of the couplings you replaced is lose.

It was working perfect before we started the project. All components should be working fine.

I would check the hose and wiring with the pressure sensor.

Recheck couplings.

Are you running the car on the street or just revving it in the driveway?

I am not familiar with the SC but the TT doesn't set the BOV during standstill revs only under load, but I would assume the SC would boost just revving since it is belt driven?

Yep... first thing I thought was that it was probably a vacuum line you took loose or accidentally pulled loose. Glad you found it.
