Evo IV is only boosting 8 pound??

I just brought an 96 Evo IV and just installed a boost gauge and it only is showing 8 psi and IV's should be running about 14 pound from what I've read. I have all ready fixed one boost leak where some ones just left a vacuum line from a previous Boost gauge that i just ended up putting into the new gauge.
has anyone got any ideas or anything like that?

Did you do a boost leak test to find the first leak? If not, do one

^^^^^ Just curious, why do you put all those icons in every post you make?

Anyway, to the OP.
Here is a link to a guide on how to make a homemade boost leak test coupling and how to use it to do a boost leak test.
Hope it helps and good luck!!
