Ive never seen one without a vacume so if they exist they would cost lots more. Might have to find the autogauge or vdo website. Vaccume reading isnt a problem and might indicate a blocked air filter

oh i see, i thought i read on here that the needle goes spastic when you arn't boosting, and it made a really annoying noise ?
autometer make a pro-comp series gauge for $130 or so which is 0-35psi no vacuum

Mine sits roughly on 0 when idleing or no load Certainly no noise. The Autogauge one I bought from Repco was $36NZ

ahhh f**k, I bought the cheap $45 one from super cheap that has both
oh well, no big deal, just woulda been cool to get the non vacuum one considering it has f**k all use on the diesel (at least I expect it to be like that).

The guage I use was ex Repco. Connected to the manifold it when crazy when not boosting. Connected it into the hose between the turbo and the wastegate actuator and it was all fine. Found the mounting bracket was dearer than the guage!

What do you mean by goes crazy? does it show a pulse as the valves open and close? I fitted mine to an existing hose on the turbo side of the intercooler and have always had clean readings
