I have fitted a B & M boost gauge as per one of the how to's, but what im not sure of is that my guage needle moves anti clockwise when under full power and sits at around 10 is this right? as I thought is should move clockwise.

Should be fine there.

So when decelerating/backing off, what does the guage do?

backwards as in to vaccum? Sorry i cant see the pic at work but ill assume you have -30 to 30psi gauge with 0-30psi and 0-30 mmhg or in vaccum. If so, it's still weird.

Maybe you have a kink in the line somewhere? Where did u buy the gauge? is it new? did u assemble all the bits yourself?

Sorry mate just throwing up some ideas.

My gauge comes with the small white hose, can you run straight 6mm vaccume hose all the way to the gauge?

Found the problem, couldnt believe it the T joiner for all the hoses was not manufactured properly and was solid in the centre. I drilled it out and now she works.

Thanks again to all that chipped in.
