Default boost problems someone help please!!!1

Okay i have a question? If my vacum line to my boost gauge has a kink in it will it now allow me to run the amount of boost that my boost controller is set on? My boost gauge will not read over 5 lbs unless my boost is turnd all the way up but if i set it on anything but full boost it will only read 5lbs? why is this

so how high does it go? it could be reaching a certain pressure in the line to un-kink the nylon hose and read actual pressure. but it is just a gauge, it will not make your car boost more or less if something is wrong with your gauge.

take the boost controller out and just run a line straight in place of where it is and see what the gauge reads when you boost on the highway for a while. it'll probably start off at 5 and slowly go up..
