Default fuel problem *URGENT*

ok I installed the airtex inlinie pump that comes with the DRAG 3 setup and my fuel gauge on my fuel filter shows that I have no fuel pressure at all. 0 the car runs fine. is it because the airtex is moving the fuel flow so the gauge cannot read it?? also I hooked up my BOV and it doesn't work. I tied it into one of the vacuum fitting ont he TB and then I tried the vacuum fitting for the FPR but there is like 3 other things tapped there so i don't want to run it off this vacuum source. other then that I took the car around the block for the first time and jesus christ, why didn't I get turbo sooner.
its a b16

maybe you reversed the polarity on the inline hookup?

1) If the pump is inline between the filter and the rail, then the gauge needs to be relocated to take readings after the pump.

2) BOV needs to see manifold pressure. If you're using a T/B line, then it won't be able to see both boost and vacuum. Look for vacuum lines on the back of the manifold if you've already tapped the FPR line.

either way there should be pressure as long as the gauge is behind the regualtor, and if the pump was backwards there still would be pressure, either you have a bad pressure guage or you some how blocked of fuel to the guage when you installed it, and if you tied the blow of valve to any vaccum source off the manifold it should work, are you sure it is not working or is it set on low threshold so you do not hear it that easy, but if you hooked it up into the same line you did the check valves on for map signal it may not work, any other normal vaccum port like the fpr or even tap your own direct off the manifold thats what I do I hate t clumps,jason
