At idle - with almost closed throttle - is minus boost value normal.

That’s with starting it cold with the elevated idle and is shows -5.4ish. Once it’s warm it drops to -10. Glowshift gauge is in inHG for vacuum.

Did you get a chance to inspect your Boost Hoses?

Even when still cold, and actually moving slowly out of my development @15 MPH mine is @~ -9.0 PSI or so, but yes, this with very light throttle pedal pressure on my part.

Aren't you just seeing manifold vacuum at idle? You won't have the turbo spinning up any pressure until there's enough exhaust to make it turn.
