I shimmed my wastegate but questions

I shimmed my wastegate a few days ago with 2 washers and the stock boost gauge read like 7.9 psi. Now I shimmed it again and i added another 2 washers so it has 4 washers on each bolt. My boost gauge still reads 7.9, but I did feel a very noticiable difference when i added the other two washers. So is my shiity stock boost gauge suppose to be at 7.9? Or maybe i have a big boost leak. Any suggestions.
