Jumpy Vacuum readings

Evo has been running like crap lately, my vacuum readings have been jumping from 20 to 13 at idle. Anyone know why this is happening? Did a boost leak test and found nothing

curious as to why you have a vacuum gauge and a boost/vacuum gauge. Your car honestly sounds like it's running on 2 cylinders. Have you checked your plugs, injectors? Compression test? Your vacuum surge is very erradic.

sounds like a burnt valve. remove spark plugs and perform a leak down test.

well, checked my spark plugs today and they looked fine but one thing i did notice is that i have the bpr6eix iridium spark plugs instead of the bpr7eix plugs i thought i had. Anyway im thinking could this be part of my problem since i am suposed to be running a step colder with the mods i have? running 23 psi btw
