Default Need some Help with my build!!!

Hello everyone i am having a problem with the car. Was hoping someone on here can shed some light on the situation.

Took the car to the dyno a few weeks ago turned the boost to 13.5psi it made 712rwhp...good, awesome everything is working fine and its making good power, But i wanted to see if i can turn it up to 800+rwhp so....

Took the car back to the dyno recently and tried to turn the boost up. It was at 10psi and we tried to set it to 13.5 again, nothing maybe .5psi increase we turned it up enough that it should of went up 3 pounds or more. I have a AEM truboost boost controller. I am thinking that something is wrong with the Vacuum Line i havent checked it yet cause i still havent gotten the car back, picking it up from the shop tomorrow or the next. Anything else i should check?? are there any shops around West Chester, PA that can have a look at it or specialize in Turbo cars??

Thanks all

Leaks, any kind of exhaust or intake leak could be killing you on this.
