yes, less throttle the higher the vac is.
more throttle lower vac is.
i use a boost gage on my diesel, for the same purpose a vac gage is used on a gasser. it also shows vac on it, so i know when my air filter is getting dirty.
not exactingly the same thing since i have just about 0 boost under 2,200 rpms.
being a VERY near 100% computer free auto, (one small circuit board for the QOS 5V type glow plugs) there's really no other option that i know of.
well OK a EGT gauge would work too, but have a bit of a delay.
