Default NEED HELP, VACCUM ISSUES?

this is for a 96rs, drag 3 kit. My vaccum reading at idle is @50, climbing to 3k it gets to about 30. Im able to go into boost but its not really translating into much power. I checked for any visible vaccum leaks and cant really find anything. My wastegate and fmu lines are spliced off of a vaccum line to the far right of the throttle body, and the closest vaccum line to the throttle body is going to the bov. any suggestions or help, is appreciated.

what kind of boost gauge is this? If it's autometer or SPI or something, then something is wrong, because it's suppose to be around 20. If this reading is off something like a blitz boost controller, then about -51 is right, because they use a different measurement. Like how we use standard measurements and others use metric.

I dont know how to convert metric to standard so I wouldnt know what reading you should get. I use greddy metric gauges. Im assuming you are using Autometer?

gsr355, you are right. It is a blitz, it measured in cm/kg.

Yes, the reading is fine. I think blitz reads vacumn in cm.Hg and autometer reads it in in.Hg, ao if it shows 50 on the blitz, it would show 19.7 on the autometer.
