I have aftermarket cams and still read 15 at idle. If you're only reading 10 that seems awful high. I've always had Evo's between 14 and 20

Maybe I'm mistaken but if you have a hose leak on one of the smaller lines your vacuum would read lower due to the lost pressure from a leaky hose. you might want to check vacuum lines on throttle body as mine used to blow off and I would not boost above 24-25 psi. Zip tied the line and all is good.

I'm not saying this is your problem in so much as something to check out.

pretty sure I'm around 19psi vacuum at idle

Yeah i'll check it out, cuz the boostin isn't the issue. I just don't see with stock cams that it should read that high in the vacuum

I would do a boost test for sure because you can still boost with a leak its just your turbo works alot harder and you loose metered air with the leak so you loose power because your afr are off

Thanks for the help.
do you have cams? if so its normal!
