Boost Problem

OK well I have a problem with the boost gauge not reading vac and boost. It reads one or the other. but not both. People can see my setup on the Its Alive Thread. Can anyone give me some advice as to why its doing this?? Also the boost gauge only will go to 4psi. I tried my friends boost gauge and nothing same result so its not the boost gauge. all hardpipes are secure. no exhaust leaks either. Anyone want to take a guess as to whats wrong?

Do you have a enternal wastegate or external? Maybe the wastgate spring is set to only 4psi so thats why your guage is only going to 4.

How do you know it's set for 7psi if you've never made boost b4? or is this recent?
