Aem's gauge is gay. It only reads in 2's in vac. So it bounces back and forth indicating around a 17.

??? mine shows 21 20 19 lol... i know cuz my vac was at 21 today when i started my car up

Tru boost is not the same as their digital boost gauge.

wouldnt his idle be more than 900 if he had a vac leak? or the car would be surging up and down?

I'll check again for leaks. It's weird that it only happens when car is hot or I do a hot restart
