Message	I got a boost leak tester with a gauge from boostpro.net and I tried using it tonight. I am 99.9% sure I put everything together right. When I started pumping up the intake system the gauge on the bicycle pump went up, but the gauge on the tester didn't move at all. I know that usually that means there is a bad leak somewhere, but I am in my garage and it is completely silent. I didn't here any noise from the intake. Also, when I held the pump at a steady 5ish psi on the bicycle gauge it wouldn't drop unless I released it. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on? Am I doing it all wrong? Could it be a bad gauge?
