Not normal at all.

Disconnecting the evap plug under the hood should disable the LTFT, unless you've moved your maf to the lower charge pipe without tweaking the maf tables significantly.

Also do a boost leak test with the plastic line going to the evap solenoid unplugged (one that runs back to the gas tank) and see if the solenoid has failed. I've had mine fail that way before.

When you disconnect the evap solenoid it zeros the ltft and then you only have stft
