I hate to say this but I think your WG is stuck open. Not an easy fix but it may not cost you anything to fix...

Well on mine the codder pin that holds the WG shaft to the turbo flap fell out over the years so I just put in a new one and presto BOOST!

clamp all those connections (i used zip ties). that may be where you are losing your vac pressure. take a pic of the face of the boost gauge or tell us the brand name.

He would loose vac as fast as he leaks boost (he said 25psi vac). However it is always good to clamp all your lines.

make sure you put some type of clamp or tie to hold the tube in you can be loosing boost inbetween the hose and t-fitting.

Reving it in park will not read boost you need to get it on the road and put the motor under load. I would like to know what brand of gauge and if you had and kinks in the line. Also make sure you did'nt crimp the line to hard when you put your fittings on.

if your car feels slow make sure the n75 valve is plugged in, on my friends car his came loose and you dont get any boost with the n75 vavle unpluged.. give that a shot as well jut make sure its plugged in
