I have no definite information as far as boost specifications, however, the boost numbers you provide are, for the most part, in line with what is generally accepted as normal boost range on a unmodified system.
The A/F ratio is the norm for a wide open throttle condition......think of the throttle as nothing more than a fuel valve.
The, at idle, vacuum is lowish but that probably is because this itty bitty turbo is likely adding a bit of boost at idle.....the pinwheel is about the diameter of a silver dollar......so, you really shouldn't take that reading into consideration for general engine health concerns.
The only time idle vacuum is useful as a diagnostic tool is if the gauge bounces rapidly.......an indicator of a leaking intake valve or a vacuum leak at one of the four port runners.
Question so I have a 2017 Chevy cruze LT 1.4l turbo "LE2" .
I got myself a little bluetooth OBDII reader and an app called dash command, i have an AEM CAI, now my boost doesnt even reach anywhere near that maybe at like 5k rpms gets to 2 psi according to the app anyone else get that or is it just me and most likely I have the worst boost leak in history(also no codes pop). ATM I'm on deployment so cant really test it but any suggestions on how I should test it and what to look for been doing some research but find nothing other then new turbo due to bypass value being built in.
Was it reporting correctly before the CAI install? My initial guess would be the OBD2 adapter PID settings in the app are not configured correctly. I had the same issue with mine (I use torquePro), and I have seen others with ultragauge reporting the same low numbers when not setup correctly. According, to Jerry@BNR
Most aftermarket OBD2 gauges use the MAP sensor to determine boost. GM made some changes in 2016 to the way the MAP pids work so most aftermarket OBD2 gauges report incorrect values on 2016+ GM vehicles.
I'm not sure how Dashcommand and Torque would show different values, unless one of them has some damping.
With Dashcommand, you can log to a csv file and see the values as read.
This is a screen grab from a log replay.

I have my vacuum/boost gauge ported into the throttle body. I get about 30 inches vacuum at idle, and on stock ecu it highest is about 18-20 psi if it’s pushing it hard
30 inches of vacuum seems really high especially for idle.
Also the boost seems high for a stock set-up. I would think your gauge needs a calibration check.
30 in. vacuum at sea level. With a .5 in decrease for every 1,000 feet in altitude.
I got 25 in. in Cali at sea level. At home at 4,500 feet. It don't matter if I'm pulling vacuum in my 7,000 gallon tank trailer or a car ac system. 21 is all I get. I'm not sure what the torque app would read. I've barely used that gauge or the app much.
Boost pressure was 30 max in my semi in Cali. At the top of Donner pass at 7,500 feet it was 18 I believe. I don't think I even hit 10 in the Colorado mountains at 12,000 plus feet. I haven't been in that truck for 3 years now. I no longer have a boost gauge. And that's a semi with a much larger engine and turbo 3 X the size. I wouldn't expect our 1.4L to even come close to the same numbers.
Stoichiometric AF was 14.7 on the carburetors. 15.0 with fuel injection. Don't remember the number for idle and WOT. Or what it might be these days with today's Direct injection. I've been retired almost 20 years now.
J'ai installé une jauge de suralimentation / vide pour voir quelle est la pression de suralimentation d'origine.
En moyenne, je vois une plage d'environ 12 à 14 PSi, peut-être qu'elle peut atteindre 15 PSI dans certaines conditions.
Curieux de savoir si cela semble normal?
Pour le côté vide avec le moteur au ralenti, je vois environ 10 à 11 pouces, cela semble-t-il correct?
J'ai vu une vidéo sur Youtube indiquant que le ratio boursier A / F @ WOT est d'environ 10,3? Cela semble-t-il proche?
La jauge n'est peut-être pas trop précise car elle est de type à jauge plus raide peu coûteuse. Je voulais juste quelque chose pour mesurer le vide et le boost.
Merci
