Ok so I just replaced my clutch, put everything back together and started my car up for the first time. It idled around 1500, which is pretty high, but the A/F ratio was in the 10's and the vacuum was at like -6, but the thing is, it seemed to idle ok with all these problems. Does this sound like a boost leak, I'm about to go do one, I just wanted some peoples' inputs if this could be something in particular because it doesn't seem like a boost leak to me.
 
definitely sounds like it has to do with a vacuum leak. Normal startup vacuum should be -18. Check all your vacuum lines. Doubt it would be a boost leak unless it's a really big one like not having something plugged in. also make sure your MAF is plugged in snuggly.
 
Ok, I found the problem, and it was something little and stupid as usual. The one vacuum line for the boost gauge got disconnected when we were messing with the power steering. Thanks though haha
