That's normal. When you're not boosting you're in negative vaccuum.

Well, it sounds like everything is hooked up properly. I'd wager you need a new boost sensor... or, you could get an aftermarket boost gauge.

Could check for the vac line coming off, but I don't think that would cause what you're seeing.

Aftermarket works much better anyhow. Reacts fast enough to reflect what the engine is actually doing, not what it did 3 seconds ago.
