Default autometer guage reads boost but no vacuum

i just installed my boost guage (and yes it is a vacuum/boost guage and not boost only guage) but why does it only read boost? I tee'd off from the hose that runs from the wastegate to the turbo and checked the lines over again and everything seems alright. Any help would be appreciated. BTW it's a DRAG gen 4 kit.

You connected it wrong.
You need to connect it to vacuum source - example line that goes to FPR, or to brake assist (think it's called like that) - anyway, source has to be from intake manifold.
