Turbo boost question

[123sillyboy123]

I just installed an aeroforce gauge, i set it to display boost inHg/PSI.
When idle, its -25.6, and if i step on gas paddle, the number will quickly climb to 0 and above. Max it goes is +10 to +12..
Is it normal?
I am currently running hondata +basemap,
Mod i have if it matters are
PRL DP &FP (non cat)
INJEN CAI,
INJEN FMIC
AEM charge pipe

I thought i could get like +25 PSI.
I did a bit research and people said negative means vacuum and only when it over zero then it start boosting...if thats the case, does it mean i have only 12psi boost?
Am i having a leak ? Or am is it normal?
Sorry for the nooby question, new to turbo engine.

Take a pic where you tapped in for a boost reference

Please advise how? Sorry for being a noob...
I just went out for the ride.. it only boost to 12psi max... and i am on hondata +9map...

I am reading it from an aeroforce interceptor gauge.. i set it to read boost inHg /PSI

how is your gauge reading boost from the car?

They're wanting to know how your boost gauge is hooked up. Where is the vacuum line from the gauge connected to in the engine bay?

25psi is not all accross the board. you only get max boost under certain circumstances.

but it sounds like you are not tuned. thats what i get from my si when tuned to stock map.

It's reading in absolute pressure not gauge pressure.
