That sounds fine to me. There will be larger vacuum on decel than when idling.

just seemed strange because on accell its prob around -20 pounds until around -5 when the turbo starts to pull until turbo hits 18 pounds and creeps to 20.. that turbo just died yesterday. im amazed the stock 14b took that kind of abuse from the previous owner and made it this far

What's the idle vaccum at?

Normal. You have the whole momentum of the car pulling against the throttle plate.
