if you've done what i think you did, that port on the throttle body does not have vacuum. Vacuum comes from anything after the throttle plate. Does your boost gauge read vacuum as well? Or does it work only when your boosting? Try moving the vacuum source to a port on the intake manifold it self.

u know come to think of it I think it reads very little vaccuum and I took that vac hose off while the car was running and it didn't change anything....I'm gonna try that tomorrow and see if it works... Thanks
