I would say thats correct because the engine is not under any load so your not creating any boost

that's right, when the throttle is closed there is depression in the manifold causing a vacum.
Throttle open and no boost is atmospheric pressure, so reads 0
With boost the gauge will read pressure !!!
The ford racing gauges are available through burton's !!!!!
