The boost guage is really simple. It is either connected to a vacuum or it isn't.
Did you take the dash out? or Is it possible the line to the guage got cut somehow?

Didn't take the dash out no. But i'm not completely sure everything is properly hooked up after I put the engine in, was hoping someone in the calgary
area or maybe further out could look at it for me and help me out

Jayson,
I am in Gillam manitoba or I would have called you back, no phone coverage here and we are working 12s in very high heat. if the car is running rough and there is no boost you could have some vaccum leaks and issues. I won't be home till late next week have you called scott? he might be able to help.
best time on internally stock engine 13.8 new time coming soon |

John could be right.
THings i have forgotten to hook up include: forgetting to bolt the egr to the intake. Forgetting to tighten the nut on top of the sc. (yes the big obvious one). That doesn't include the coolant hose gear clamps i've neglected to tighten. Is the vacuum hose attached to the boost bypass valve?

Yeah i''ve been trying to get you John but figured you're working so that's fine. I did try and get ahold of John and he's extremely busy
with work also so he hasn't been able to help either. I don't know if I have any boost though, the guage isn't showing bosst or vaccum so I know I
screwed up with that line. The egr, hmmm gonna have to double check that. Big obvious nut yes I did tighten that one, the bypass i'm not sure.

Well I double checked everything and found out that one vaccum fitting had no line and I couldn't find any extra lines connected to nothing so I brought
the car into Ford yesterday and am getting them to take a look at it so hopefully they can figure it out. Thanks so much for the help Sean and John, I
appreciate it alot
