if your boost guage reads 10+ psi then how do you know you are only running 6psi?

You got some vaccum ---- hooked up wrong, or at least you did before you installed the missing link.

ya im ------- worried. everything worked just fine... it snowed here, could that have broken the wastegate spring? i got on it once, sure doesnt feel like 10+psi... and so today i hooked ---- back up the way it was, still getting 10+ and then i just plain ran the map sensor with nothing and still 10+.. so my luck something broke the same time i was switching out the vacuum lines.. funny this is i did nothing else but that... oh well my luck...
