VFAQ is one of the greatest things in the world to a DSMer. As a matter of fact it helped me out just earlier today on how to install the boost gauge.

[Blitzed95Eclips]

yes vac 18 at idle is good.

Boost comes on around 3000 rpm, and is also load-dependent. You don't really want to see it on a lightly-loaded, or not loaded engine. Head out on a straight stretch -where you can more safely look at the gauge while driving- and romp it in third. Try it on an uphill stretch and notice the difference.
Unless you're racing and not concerned about grenading the engine, try to make a habit of not boosting in first gear.

Your car will take as good care of you as you take of it.
