what kind of gauge do you have and is it working correctly? Reason I ask is because you should be reading a lower amount of boost since you wg line is running to the turbo and you have a pressure drop from the turbo to the manifold.

should i have the WG plugged into the manifold? I would think the way i have it setup right now it would be best?

it doesnt matter either way that you put the vac line. The way you have it now is fine. If you placed the vac line at the manifold just means that when the mani is at the right pressure it would open the wg vice when the pressure is at the turbo. Do you understand what I am saying?
