Vacuum at around idle

Hi, I think I may have a vacuum leak on my project car.

So the question what is the expected vacuum at and around idle for a 13b turbo?

Thanks,,,

I see around 16mm/hg (or whatever) at 1000RPM's and about 11mm/hg at a 700RPM idle. My motor is a street-ported, RA seal'd rebuild with about 17k miles. I've got an Autometer gauge.

Any amount of porting will reduce vacuum at ~750rpm idle. I think I remember reading that 16 mm/Hg is a good indication on a stock motor of healthy seals.
