Something's wrong with that. Vacuum on idle doesn't sound high enough, and boost is clearly miles off.

Either a massive leak somewhere, or something electrical stopping boost, AND a leak effecting vac on idle.

The engine HAS to be producing vacuum on idle, so it's most likely the leak will be on the line you have T-d into.
