Does it spike to 50 or does it stay constant? Also are you keeping the RPMs constant or blipping the throttle.. and what boost/vac readings do you have when measuring 50?

As you know the FPR on our cars uses a 1:1 ratio of boost to fuel pressure. So setting your base FPR (with vacume disconnected) at 40psi.. you should read ~38psi at -20Hg, 40psi at 0psi, 41 at 1psi 42 at 2psi..etc.
 
yes, totally normal, 20in/hg is about 10psi
watch your boost gauge, when you blip the throttle it goes from 20in of vac, to 0
if your fpr is working correctly it will go from "base" to "base+10" when you blip the throttle, that's what DSM90 meant by 1:1
