Default boost question

i just installed glowshift guages in my 93 6.5. the boost gauge is mounted on the drivers side of the intake manifold and the gauge only reads about 7 lbs of boost at the most. i have a heath diesel turbo master on it, is the sensor mounted to far from the turbo to get an accurate reading or is it just a 6.5?

I bought a Equuis Gauge at Orielly's, I'm hoping it reads close enough, i didn't have the money to shell out for a good one right now.

I have a few Equuis gauges myself on differant trucks,seem to work great.Going to get a oil pressure gauge tomorrow to hook up on my 6.5 to see if i actually have oil pressure,.ill take pics of the set up Bjen if you like ,i no you mentioned you had less oil pressure than i did but i looked at a few other vids of 6.5 and guess what ? they all seemed to have shitty oil pressure!
