Help ..... SPA boost gauge problem !!

Hi All
I had my boost gauge fitted on Friday (SPA dual boost and temp).
Oil temp side of things is working fine but the boost will not read over 0.3bar.
It's plumbed into the vacuum (I think) hose on the dump valve, with the aid of some samco hose and a 'T' piece. The gauge is zero'd correctly and all other settings are aparently fine.
It reads -0.0 and then falls to ~ -0.2 with the engine running.
Boost rises to about 0.0 at ~ 2k rpm after which it won't read > 0.3bar.
I've checked the hoses last night and all seemed ok.
My knocklink reads nothing out of the ordinary, however my lambdalink seems to go 'hunting' on cruise (1 red up to orange and back). Here the boost reads 0.0.
My real concern is a leak, especially as I have a trip up to N.Wales this weekend.
Anybody have any suggestion (other than disconnect it) ??
Cheers
Adam
