I have checked for vac leaks and nothing has surfaced, however i dont have another way of verifing there is no leak. So i figured the vac reading on my boost gauge would fall as a back up.

Ah, the mysterious missing vac leak, where you know you have one, but just can't find it.
Try to get a smoke machine. That should show you exactly where your vac leak is. I am in the process of doing this, but have a few things to do first before I do (mainly earn money).
as for boost and vac readings. Are you sure your gauge is grounded properly? Not having a proper ground will give you very messed up readings. If you have, expect to have anywhere from 14-20+inHg in vac. I'm currently pulling in around 14inHg on a fresh rebuild (though compression is absolutely fine). Good luck though.
