Boost/vacuum idle number

[EcoMax]

I have been having some problems with my 2.3l ecoboost. I feel like my idle numbers are wrong, I am getting 20-21 inhgat idle, can someone post their number? I'm pretty sure I use to get 23-24. I am also getting a clicking or tapping sound from the engine and low boost numbers below 3k rpm with No CEL.

Has the accessory load changed? Remember that the vacuum is related to the cam phasing and the throttle position.

-20 is normal for warm idle temps

i'd like to further this discussion as I'm experiencing different average readings than i was last week. Unless I'm mis-remembering i normally averaged -20 when idling, but all of this weekend I've been seeing numbers closer to -16 to -17 when under small load, and -23 to -24 when idling in gear. i could be absolutely off but it also feels like i have less power although I'm going to need to investigate that further. i barely have any miles on this car so nothing should be wrong, but something feels slightly off.
