Is it -20 psi or -20 inHG (inches of Mercury)?? my boost gauge reads inHg to the left of zero and psi to the right of zero.

If yours is the same then -20 inHg is correct

BTW - 1 psi is approx 2 inHg

On the over run I get -11psi. Prior to rebuild it was -10psi.
Tickover at 800rpm and the vacum is a bit less.
