???? what im saying is if the hose isnt tight around the PCV valve and air is getting there could it make the vacuum be lower?
The PCV valve will not see boost as it has a one way check valve preventing boost from entering.
Sounds like u have a small leak in your vac lines somewhere... I would use the process of elimination removing each vac source to each device in turn to see if your boost gauge registers a stronger vac.
