A leak for sure, I pull 20 at idle. Your best bet is to do a boost leak test but if you don't have the equipment you need to inspect manually.

Check all the couplers/tbolt clamps, vacuum lines to/from BOV and wastegate, check lines on the intake manifold.

Also I know people have trouble getting a good seal on the intake manifold, spray some carb cleaner around the base of the intake manifold/runners (I know this is difficult to do with our car). If your idle jumps its a leak.

I cleaned my manifold gasket really well and used some spray on RTV to coat the gasket, then I torqued it down in order as per FSM to factory spec, 8 ft/lb, use a torque wrench!
