Default autometer boost gauge help

i hooked up a new electrical boost gauge. when i start the car, the needle jumps to 25 then back to 10psi then back to 25psi. does not move when driving. also i have double,triple checked the vacuum lines and wiring. i have repeatedly turned the car on/off to get the needle to 30 vac. Now when i turn it on it doesnt even move??

white wire to power, black to ground, red to 12v switched. ??? isnt that right?
