the TSI I got has a boost guage in it but it is not working right. it shows vac. but when I am pulling boost the needle stops at zero. I know nothing about turbo charged cars this is my first one?

Boost is positive manifold pressure. If the boost gauge is hooked up correctly and still shows only vaccum (i.e. negative manifold pressure) you are not "boosting". Have someone help you look for boost leaks (intake leaks) as that is more than likely the cause. Just because you can hear the turbo doesn't mean it's "boosting".
