For myself, the vacuum shows in Torque pro are 21psi for idling and 8 to 12psi for driving in a freeway (60mph). And I have no clue how to control the vacuum.
I also use torque pro. It seems to incorrectly use psi instead of inches of mercury when displayi g vacuum. The 21 psi you see is actually 21 inches of vacuum.
