thats the way it should be. i have one in my car. basically you have it hooked up right. i think it should be idling somewhere around 20. when you floor it, it should go all the way down to 0.

Sweet, now I know what to look for what I finally get my boost/vac gauge put in today and start up the car with turbo kit for the first time. This will help me detect a vac leak.
