Stock evo ix mr gauge help!

EDIT: Looks like its just the boost gauge having issues now. It doesnt work at all just lights up. It worked perfectly before I took apart my dash and I never disconnected the hose at all. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Hi guys

I know this is a stupid question, but how do the stock evo ix mr gauges react? By that I mean the volt and oil temp gauges below the radio. I replaced my dash and had to disconnect my gauges. Now my boost isn't working for sure and I'm not certain about my 2 others. The volt just sets to about 14? And temp doesn't move much at all. Any one have a start up and rev video that shows it ? Or willing to film and post one quick? Thanks guys!

Define "took apart my dash" sounds like you pinched, disconnected, or cut the vac line going to the gauge. Make sure its hooked up at both ends. Does it sit on zero when t car is off? Does it move at all?

Hmmm might have gotten pinched :/ Yes I took apart the entire dash in order to replace the beaten upper dash pad. The gauge sits at zero and doesnt move.

Thanks for the help man.

Where does the vac line connect in the engine bay? Seems like everything is fine and I checked the line seems like no kinks :/

Im not sure where it connects tbh. Take a piece of vac hose attach it to the gauge. Take a compressor with a regulator on it. Set the regulator to 10-15 psi, pressurize the vac line and see if the gauge works. Then you can determine if the gauge is bad or your connection is bad.

Cool man ill try that thanks. Do you know how the gauge is originally hooked up? Just by the vac hose and the small harness piece correct?

Im just wondering cause it lights up so I can be certain its a connection probelm with the hose or just gauge itself?
