just wondering what turbo guys vacuum is at...i think my idle vacuum is too low :/ ill have to check again for vacuum leaks, but i cant seem to find any, car runs fine..at idle its usually between 10-15 when warmed up...only time it drops to 18 is when i let off the gas while cruising :/. i know it should be around 18 NA, what about with boost...also, my idle is lower than normal, its at 700 which is ok, but it used to be a lil higher. related? things beyond the obvious to check?

It's easy to have a vacuum leak somewhere on that nylon vacuum line, but I don't worry too much. My vacuum at idle is anywhere from 15-17 and it's been that way forever. If you have the heat on, or especially the a/c or defroster, you can bet the vacuum is going to be around 13 or so...maybe less.
But your vacuum should be in that range. If it's noticeably closer to 10 at idle without anything on, look for vacuum leaks anywhere in your lines. It takes very little to skew the readings.

I thought I had a Vacuum leak when my idle was actually 15-20 but i test it out and had no vacuum leaks....It's just the way it's suppose to be i guess

sounds fine to me man. 700 rpm and 10-15 in.hg. is about right.
bring it on............
