Did you check for a boost leak? Could be a faulty gauge. Make sure the boost line isn't kinked anywhere.

I put my gauges in last weekend. I used the "boost bolt" which installs on the intake in place of one of the intake bolts. Pull a bolt out and put this hollow core bolt in its place and connect your pressure line. Works great.
