Default Wastegate issue

I have a 38mm tial style wastegate with two 5.83 Psi Springs in it. I uasally get 13.5 psi, the other day I noticed the hose conneting the wastegate to the nipple on the turbo was torn so I cut a piece off and moved it down. Now i only get 6 psi. I tried using a vacuum source insted but it didn't work I only got 4 psi. Any suggestions?
