is the balancer pressed in, if i take it off with a pulley puller would it be easy to put back on with no problems/ would like to get this done but dont wanna mess nothing up.

besides the gauge not working or maybe the crank is spinning, when i go WOT at 40-45mph on overdrive, it feels like its not pulling hard and the gauge from vac get to zero and just stays there

balancer is definitely a press fit, has to be pulled on with an installer of some sort. Have you checked it for spinning yet?

not yet, i might just go and have it checked if it needs to be pressed on and i dont have tools for that, i hooked the gauge to a air compressor and it went into boost, but when i connect it back to the charger it dont read boost. like those a wall blocking at the zero and prevents the needle to exceed into boost,
