ah I think we may have hit something here, that pipe on the back of the gauge was only finger tight...

Might be best to remove the fitting and refit it with ptfe tape around the threads.

Just got to work, there was a hissing noise coming from the boost gauge so I'm assuming that is def the problem. How is the tubing attached to the gauge? Does it have a threaded connector?
