Idle Vacuum
What are you all pulling at idle?
Mines is about -17 (or -1.2 bar depending on your gauge)
EDIT:
Also how many miles have your engines done?

Quite a good indication of engine wear, assuming you have no airleaks!
Looks like -20 for fresh engine progressing down the more miles you do.
Keep em coming.....
