Ben,

>I think your mechanic is wrong on both accounts.

i suspected so. thanks for verifying. i had a feeling he was confused.

>You can tee in at the back of the ECU - that is what is being measured.

Since i already have it all installed (rather nicely, i might add :) im just 
gonna leave it  as is, if its reading right, which im now certain it is 
(several off-list replies-THANKS, ALL!)

>You should be pulling vacuem at idle - around 18 at idle up to 30 when
>seriously downshifting.

WOW. you'rs really SUCKS ;) mine's actually -12/14 at idle and about   -25 
on big downshifts. i get 1.2 bar + 5/6 psi on full boost. im continuing on 
the de-vaccumleaking campaign. hopefully ill get my motor to suck n blow a 
little harder. (couldnt resist the obscene metaphor).

Thanx again!

jim
