profect e-01 reading boost correct?

ive had a profect e-o1 for awhile now, and i notice the car idles around -7.0 psi as monitored by the e-o1. i thought, and i noticed from my previous cars that a turbocharged car should idle around - 14 to -17 psi. my boost gauge reads around 380 kpa? i think,( i dont remember if vacuum for the hks gauge is kpa or mmhg). what is normal idle vaccum? i dont have any vacuum leaks, is the e-01 wrong? when i deccelerate in gear it will drop to -10.7 psi or so. again, i though under deceleration it should be around -20 psi. some feedback would be nice. thanks,

No, its fine. You're thinking of inches of mercury. Idle should be 16-18 inches, and on decel about 20 inches for a little bit. What your e-01 reads is the right readings in psi.

It will always vary depending on the engine and mods. If you add cams for instence you lose vacuum. hence the stalling issue.
