So I really don't see the reference there. I'm only trying to keep a healthy engine based upon boost pressure not vacum. The boost controller controlling the waste gates will only see positive pressure so why should the gauge controlling the solenoid need to ever see negative pressure. I'd rather see a gauge at zero instead of jumping all over in the negatives. If I don't see a number above approximately 3k then I know I have a line leak issue. Just my .02
You want to see how much vacuum you make, trust me. On my old big turbo Audi A4 I would see boost fluctuations with weather conditions, the only way to see if you have a leak is by looking at vacuum measurements which shouldn't vary. Also, having a vacuum leak is a huge deal - do you want unfiltered air being sucked into your engine?
