I took this (http://i.imgur.com/lDm4j54.jpg) picture and edited in my own vacuum line setup (http://i.imgur.com/PT7FoLc.jpg) which doesn't seem right. Also, how can I check to see if I have a vacuum leak?

you have a boost controller, and a boost solenoid?

that AEM boost solenoid shouldnt be there.. the wastegate rubber line should go to the boost controller, and then teh boost controller should have a line teeing in with the blow off valve. (or compressor housing if you have that option)

Here's my boost gauge/controller and solenoid (http://www.frsport.com/AEM-30-4350-52mm-Tru-Boost-Gauge-Type-Boost-Controller_p_9343.html)

The boost controller is tee'd in with the BOV.

Bump. I re-routed it just exactly this (http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/sr20de-det/115174-boost-line-set-up.html) tutorial and according to my AEM boost gauge, I'm not making any boost, even when revving it way up. I can hear the turbo spooling down when I shut the car off though.

^^Your gauge says you aren't making boost... What does the seat of your pants say? Might be indication.

Rather than read internet tutorials, you may try reading the directions on your boost controller. If you don't have them on hand; they are usually available for download online.
