Default vacuum problem is really getting to me! Pics/Vid

Video of the problem =

Vacuum manifold (now boost gauge, bov, and wg are connected) =


I'm having a problem with a floating idle and a boost gauge that's going nuts during idle and low throttle driving. I'm thinking it that the hose I used for the boost gauge is collapsing... beats me though.

The gauge is also not seeing low boost until the turbo really starts spooling, yet I can be driving and hear a bov stutter when I shift (tial bov). Do I have the vacuum manifold in the wrong place, or should I connect that vacuum hose to another place?

Video no workie. You're using rubber line for the boost gauge, instead of the standard vinyl (which probably doesn't matter) and there are no clamps/zipties on ANY of the lines I see there...in addition, you have that one hose doubled over, instead of using two plugs. If every one of those is leaking just a tad, that would be your prob!

It looks like you have it hooked up to the right hole. Your brakes work fine right? If they do then you know that there is a strong vacuum source from where you tapped into.
