Default Vacuum Pressure?

Ok after I installed my OCC, I noticed my vac pressure running around 18 at idle with the AC on, if I turn the AC off it goes to 19 -20. I know at idle it is supposed to be 20. Is this okay and me just being paranoid, or should I check for a leak. I know that its close enough to 20 but I just want to make sure.

Same here. Mine's always at 18-19. It IS a good idea to check those hose clamps on the OCC on a regular basis, though....

At idle vac is less than atmospheric pressure, which is 17-21mmHg

When you let off the gas it WILL go higher than 21mmHg
