The boost controller controlling the waste gates will only see positive pressure so why should the gauge controlling the solenoid need to ever see negative pressure. I'd rather see a gauge at zero instead of jumping all over in the negatives. If I don't see a number above approximately 3k then I know I have a line leak issue. Just my .02
You want to see how much vacuum you make, trust me. On my old big turbo Audi A4 I would see boost fluctuations with weather conditions, the only way to see if you have a leak is by looking at vacuum measurements which shouldn't vary. Also, having a vacuum leak is a huge deal - do you want unfiltered air being sucked into your engine?
