Just an FYI, vacuum reads in inches (or mm) of Mercury, i.e. "inHg" or "mmHg", not in PSI (pounds per square inch).

One thing I learned from a shop owner and from experience, the autometer boost gauge can be innaccurate up to two psi. Use it for a general reading, NOT for accurate tuning.

Very true, mine is off by 1 or 2 psi's. It's one of the main reasons why I havn't installed my boost controller. I guess you get what you pay for.
