I know nothing about the turbo system on an FC as mine is a N/A, but the vacuum on my FD sits comfortably at 18. You may have a small leak in your lines.

so 15 @ 900 isn't that bad I suppose. My car is hard to start and sounds like its knocking... I don't suppose this is the problem.

thanks btw...
