with the pedal to the floor it should go to 0 vac.

at 4000rpm and you let off the gas completely it should go below 20 vac in most cars.

If you are in gear coming down from 4000 RPMs it will dip down below 20vac.

Sounds like normal operation.

My car will drop to 25Hg sometimes, 30Hg is a really strong vacuum- that's okay(when your off the throttle, right?)

when i cut the car off it goes to 0..someone help...
That is normal-car's off- No vacuum or boost = 0.

Sounds like you have a leak. Check your intake/IC piping and vacuum lines.

Had that problem too

Tee it off your FPR. Or make an individual source(best way).
