From what I know the amount of vacuum you pull at idle is based on your porting as well as a few other things. The bigger and better flowing your ports are, the less vacuum you pull. Of course if you idle at a different rpm than another car with the same ports, you will have different amounts of vacuum.
In theory I guess the smaller and faster spooling or less rotating resistance your turbo is, the less vacuum you pull as well but I'm just guessing.
I don't think it really matters that much...
As far as the skip in your idle, I have one to and its very random. Sometimes it skips every 4 braps or so and sometimes its 4 skips back to back. Seems like just a misfire here and there, nothing to worry about.
