First off welcome the the forum....You need to run the motor under stress and not just rev it in a driveway. Hopefully you have driven it and just no boost is showing. Make sure the gauge works and the boost line is clear and hooked up properly to the intake hat. Do you have the wastegated or non wastegated turbo... Again hopefully its wastegated. Find a hill and really get on it. Boost will show...

and more detail of what ATS turbo you have. pics help the i.d. just in case if you have questions.
if you have the earlier non wastegated ATS, they are notoriously lazy turbos.
