Boost don't come till around 3.5-4k
Is this normal cause I've been reading that other people started spooling at like 2-3k. Now this is what you call lag. Feels like vtec area that it's coming in at. I'm using a wrx turbo and 2.25 piping for exhaust(yeah I know...)dsm side mount with 1.75 to 2" piping for charge piping. What gives?

No its not the same. You NEED to take the vaccum source from the manifold, its a stronger vaccum source.

Yeah some wastegates are setup for this and thats perfectly fine, however the best vaccum source is the manifold. IMO
