Default im an idiot!

its just a stock boost gauge because i just bought the car. after trying to figure out the problem, i finally realized that the gauge is in mmhg not psi. therefore im a dumbass! haha anyway i shimmed my wastegate with 3 washers, but i still only get up to about 3mmhg on my gauge. im new to the turbo scene so im wondering if maybe i have a bad wastegate? also, when i rev up my car in neutral, air comes out my bov. is this normal? i have a new bov on the way so maybe that will help. any suggestions about how much boost i should get with a 3washer shim would be great! i checked all my intercooler tubes and changed all my vaccumm lines as well.
