Why is my boost fooler reading no boost?

I tapped into the right line, the flow is going the same way, we set the PSI to 20 with a compressor. I cannot get the gauge to move at all. Any ideas?? Im stumped

any turbo of any kind does not create boost unless its under load, you cant see the gauge move unless you are driving the vehicle , but dont ride under the hood to see that please
