You say you have it hooked up to your intake..but are you sure you don't have it hooked up to you throttle body?...if so that would explain it..the guage needs to see boost..so you would need to hook it up after the blower.

just check to make sure

Are you sure you are getting into boost?...do you have any pics?

on my JRSC mani I had about 2-3 ports for vacumn/boost..it was just above the blower. I am assuming you are usuing one of those right?
