Check the vacuum line. There'* a connection under the supercharger snout on the LIM and that should go one way to your MAP sensor, and the other way to the FPR and the boost control actuator. That line is also the boost gauge.

When you rev the engine can you see the boost actuator move?

The boost gauge is the problem then. Check the connections under the dash.

I see no reason why it would. The boost is working, it'* just the gauge.
