    I lost my boost gauge reading

    I uninstalled my cold air intake to clean the filter and re-oil today. Now my boost gauge doesnt work, car still feels like it is boosting though. There is no vacuum or boost reading.

    I'm very new to the S4, so can anyone help me out? Something I forgot?

    And, the only other thing I did was open up my ecu box to check the number and screw back on...looks like the boost gauge wire runs through there too.

    Thanks in advance

    /edit: Found the problem. The ECU box was screwed down too tight ontop of the boost line, fixed the crimp. /thread

    Yeah I would assume you it will be the hose from the boost gauge. It runs out from the ecu box nad maybe you yanked it a little and it could've gotten disconnected from the unit. Otherwise the wires don't really run to the ecu box (installed my boost gauge two nights ago).

    my boost gauge (APR) has the line running from out of the FPR thru the firewall to the gauge. It should not be plugged into your MAF, since you're not running boost at that point
