You shouldn't have any boost pressure at idle. Your bypass valve would be open at that point.

At 600 feet above sea level, I see about 20 - 21" vac.

About 20" of vacuum for me.

And it reads -8psi because it is trying to read vacuum. Don't know if the Interceptor has the ability to display vacuum or not.

So it's normal then to see 8psi at idle on a interceptor?

Isn't the ratio for the conversion 2.4XXX something or other. As in -8psi would be around 19 or 20" of vac. Damn it, can't remember and I'm too lazy to search for it.

My interceptor shows between -20 and -22 when I am engine braking, about -18 to -20 when I am stopped, dead idle.

What measurements are you going with, percentages? i did port and polish my supercharger housing, i dunno if that would effect mine at all. I still see about 15psi max with my mods. Vaccuum is about 14.7 psi so i guess seeing around -9 psi to -11 psi would be normal, because it wouldn't be FULL vacuum, just close. also -9 psi = -62 kpa
