scoobyke Well-known member Sep 12, 2007 #4 yeah depends on the guage,when your off boost it ans at idle it will be at a minus..(below 0)and then when its reved or on boost it will pick up to the boost pressure..+.9 or something like that,hope that makes sense...

J johnny99 Middle Lane Hogs Sep 12, 2007 #6 500 is mm of mercury, it's a measurement of vacum. All turbo cars will show this on idle. John
OP OP S sticky9 Guest Sep 13, 2007 #9 oh ya lol - that was the important question I was mneat to ask ;p - After a hard run, there is a lot of blue smoke coming from the turbo area in the engine( when the car is idling after the run) - this bad?
