I would run a single line from the top of the gate to the compressor housing. This should basically max out the turbo. Do a short pull/burst and see what the boost does. If it does not make alot of boost you have a cold side leak, or you are maxing out the turbo(s).
Situations like this is why I like the new PTE gates...they come with multiple springs...enough to hit each boost level from 1.5 to 25.5 in 1.5 lb increments.

The new precision 46 we put on my buddies car was a nice gate, came with all the springs so you can run a lot of different boost levels like mention above. I'd go that route over a JGS if I ever bought another one, just replace the hardware as the bolts aren't very good imo. Other than that, great gates.

That does suck. I had a friend that happened to before I finished my build. Now all his and my vacuum lines are -4 steel braided lines with the exception of 2" of hose going from 1 AN line to the MAP sensor, couldn't find one at the time that had a AN fitting.
