Weird thing...about my boost gague and AVC-R
Last time before i start the car.. i looked at the boost gauge... it was little bit under the 0 PSI.. than i looked at my AVC-R... it also reads -36 mm/hg....
Is that normal???

Sounds like your boost gauge has a leak somewhere in the line, possibly even your AVC-R if they are reading boost from the same line. 36mm/hg is insanely low and would indicate a major problem if it is motor related, I have a feeling you have a vacuum/boost leak somewhere in those lines.

mjw: He stated that it read 36mm of Hg WITHOUT the car running. Yes, if the vacuum was that low when idling, that would be bad!
Because I don't have a boost gauge yet (come on Omori, bring out those gauges!), I'm not sure if normal atmospheric changes could move the needle that much. 36mm Hg = about 1.4 inches of Hg.
Can anybody with a boost gauge give their opinion whether that much of a variance is possible due to atmospheric changes?

Mine rests just a hair below zero. Basically, your boost gauge should be:
0 -> Car not started
-17 to -19 -> Car running at Idle
