I tried 4 line yesterday none of them showed me any boost, I don't know wut fking lines to cut any more, Or should i T in the Line that goes from turbo compressor to the actuator for boost readings? but that would not show the lag im guessing.

Also i got a HKS actuator, and I have now idea wut PSI im set at grrr....

And also this might be a sutpid question but this is my 1st turbo car, when i rev the engine lets say to 4k rpm should the turbo spool up too in nutral and BOV go off? Because i revved it up to 4k yesterday but dint hear anything from the BOV.

reving it up in the parking load will not get you boost.
there needs to be a load on the engine.

do you mean 20 hg? vacuum? if its on the twenty under the 0 then its reading vacuum, thats what you want at idle. and as you accelerate it goes up to zero and passed it when you boost. . . if so you have it hooked up right
