Ep 82 Vacuum at idle?

[F4kus]

Hi there Just got an Ep82 GT and was wondering what should the boost gauge read for vacuum on tick over? Mine is reading -7 is that about normal? Car is completely standard apart from baileys dump valve and boost gauge.

Cheers

So according to this I have a vacuum leak somewhere? Didnt realise all engines ran the same vacuum!

Mine's runs at -0.68 bar at idle and runs fine not sure if that's a normal level or not though.

After much hunting around on this site i finnally found that a healthy GT should be running -.7 : )

0.68 is close enough for me.
