I was wondering where the vacuum should be on the boost gauge. Mine is either perfectly on 15 or a little over. Im thinking its the bov not being recirculated that it fluctuates sometimes. But my friend who is a honda guy has a turbocharged integra says his stays on 20. He always telling me my engine is about to go lol . I know it isn't go to blow lol, but where should it be at and also do you guys think I might have a vacuum leak.

Vacuum should read 20"Hg.

Make a boost leak tester and use a soap water spray bottle to find the leaks.

Lol okay okay, but what if I check and I don't have boost leak, now im worried. Is my motor about to go? Or do you think it might just be a vacuum leak. I will try to do it this week. It could probably also be valve seals. What do you think?
