help help boost gauge issue
Can someone help,ive just fitted a digital boost gauge to my 05 wrx and it reads -1.0 and doesn't go up or down,ive got the wiring right i think,and have put a t piece between the dump valve and manifold,so though it should be fine but no,the only thing i didn't do was install what looks like a non return valve,should i have put this on and where would it go,

the non-return valve is going to be just a damper, if it was a non-return valve then you would only read vacume or boost and not both.
The damper works to smooth out the readings at the gauge/sensor so it's not hopping mad all over the place. Most likely you've got your wiring messed up just, double check the connections to be sure.
