Boost
#2
what is your year and trim model?
it should be -10 (vacuum) at idle... and if you rev it in park the most it is going to get to is 0.. because the boost is bypassing
while driving at WOT (wide open throttle), you should be able to get to 6-9psi if you are stock

**EDIT** Went and checked my boost gauge, which is metric from Canada. Sounds like yours is also from Canada, with a metric gauge that reads in kPa instead of psi.
The bottom of the negative side should read -70, in whch case -50 is perfectly normal. Mine hovers around that at idle as well.
