Does the car FEEL the same?

Howdy,
Does the car FEEL like it has the same ammount of power? And the ONLY thing that's different now is the needle? The vacuum line that controlls the boost gauge itself could have a leak in it, and be giving you an incorrect "reading" although those stock needle gauges are only giving you a general idea of what you're boosting anyways.
I've got a 1990 9000 turbo with an autometer boost gauge ran in-line with the stock turbo gauge, and i can tell you that "3/4 yellow" or "just into the red" is around 6-9 psi coming off your turbo.
If there is a vacuum leak that bad in the system though, your car would idle funny, i presume...
what are some other symptoms other than the gauge? is there a notcieable lack of performance?
