19" @ 750 rpm

Keep in mind that elevation will change this number a lot. I'm right at sea level at home. When I visit my wife's parents in the mountains (about 4500 ft), I lose about 5" of vacuum and a ton of horsepower, too!

I'm curious, have you noticed a power difference from the two? (i.e. same boost, but more power)

Well is hard to tell since my old FD had ECU, DP, CB, Intake and Intercooler upgrade. It did feel faster than the one I got now even with the low compression.

If your milage is true and that is stock engine, that is damn good vacuum you are getting.

I get around 12-15. The motors got about 60,000 miles on it. But, my friend who had a TII pulled ~11" on a brand new motor, ran strong with no problems.

I'm pulling 16-17 at 850 from a Reman w/24K. But I have a Blitz intake, DP, MP w/ HI-Flow Cat, 3" Dual Tip MagnaFlow, 99 JSpec Y-Pipe. And it's an Auto.
