Boost guage readings

[Swann, Benjamin R. (BSWANN)]

Josh,

Not my mechanic.  Read the original post.  My replys agree with what you
said here.

[Your mechanic is a moron.

At idle the gauge will be in vacuum.  In fact, it
should read anywhere from 18-22 inches of vacuum.  I'd
suspect you have a vacuum leak or two from what your
reading is.  Check your boost gauge plumbing first
tho.

It'll read more vacuum inbetween shifts or at decel. 
Boost readings sound about right for a stock car...

My A4 1.8T reads 21 inches of vacuum at idle, 25
inches at decel and boosts to 20 psi.  :-)
