I searched and did not really find any problems like im having...my vacuum reading on my boost gauge when the car is idling is @ -2. I did not get another gauge to get a alternate reading but i will tomorrow morning..Still it bugs me..and the turbo is fairly loud at idle...sounds like a waste gate flutter. Anyone have any vacuum problems like this? The idle is set @ 900 but it changes from 850 to 900 due to the large cams.

You'll see a slight decrease in vac due to the cams, but nothing that should account for that much. Have you done a check to make sure you don't have any vac leaks anywhere? Given the turbo noise, I would recommend pulling the intake plumbing to check for shaft play just to be on the safe side
