Oh yeah, to answer your question, yes, at 19" it was steady.

It was at 19", and would drop down to around 6" when blipping the throttle.
It would then go up to about 21" as it came back to idle, and settle at 19".
This was all done very quickly however as I was contorting myself under the
hood to plug the t-fitting with my finger (no plug handy).  The threads
aren't sealed on the gauge yet either.

That's in the ballpark, is it a steady 19"??

I just test-fitted the boost/vacuum gauge and got a quick reading of ~19psi
at cold idle.  I have to go to the store to find some teflon tape, so we'll
get a warm idle test here shortly.  This is near sea level.

Boost gauge would do fine. If you're getting one of our kits, just get the
gauge and mount ahead of time and get credited back when you take the
plunge. Plenty of ports on the manifold, might have to T in, depending on
whether you have cruise or not.
