Your boost line goes directly from the manifold to the gauge?

The hard vacuum line from the ALDA banjo was kinked with a pinhole about 6" from the banjo. I fixed it by cutting off the damaged section and splicing a T in with rubber hoses. That T is where the boost gauge is connected.

Could the leaking seal explain the 9 psi max boost? I guess it can ha? With the ALDA off, if I see the leak at the seal with the shaving cream, I'll plug the line to the banjo and my boost should go up along with more power?
