What make of gauge? some cheap ones do that.

Mine feeds off an unused nipple on the inlet manifold, it was blanked off before.

Just look behind the alternator on the inlet manifold and there is a rubber cover on an outlet on the manifold take that off and connect the boost gauge pipe to it.(classic impreza).
