Choctaw how difficult was it to hook up your gauge in the map sensor line and where did you get it from? Does removing your egr valve change the reactions of your guages at all??

I did that wrong that figure is idling in gear, in park or neutral I have 0.0.

Where you place the connection is going to make a difference. If you have no manifold boost, that means your turbo is putting out some boost or you would have vacuum in the intake manifold.

Point well taken SVB45. The gauge on the dash shows no boost at idle. The gauge may not be accurate enough to see on the dash.

It was an easy hookup, just cut the line and install a T from a hardware store.

Unplugging the EGR had no affect on boost that I have noticed.
