Default D16Z6 Vacuum??

YO! I have some problems with my boost gauge, maybe not my boost gauge.
It only reads 16 PSI vacuum when my car is at idle. It read around 19 PSI before i installed my BOV. I changed the hook ups abit for the boost gauge, but i dont' see any leak or anything. I actually re-do the hook ups again just to make sure. But it still reads only 16 PSI at idle.
But when i am driving, and i let off the gas it reads 19 PSI. once i step on the gas, then it changes. Is there something wrong with the FPR?? or something wrong with my boost gauge hook ups?? let me know plz ! thanks !!
Also, it does read 5.5 PSI with my greddy turbo kit when i boost ! hhe.. i finally start boosting

its not 16 "PSI" when its in Vacuum,its 16 in. Hg,thats about right for idle,and 19-20+ in hg when off the gas,slowing down in gear...your gauge is right,you just aint reading it right.

my car reads 20 in Hg. at idle almost 21 and when is rolling down it foes to like 25 i thick your bov needs to be checked for leaks 19 sound more right check for leaks agian my bro has a lumpy idle and he eads about 17-19 at idle.

Can somebody give me an accurate answer???
my bov has no leak, coz it works fine when i boost, so i assume there should be no leak??? coz it reads 5.5 psi when i boost...
