335i vacuuming at -4.0

Hello,
I am not sure if anything is wrong, but when I let go of my accelerator, or at idle, my boost gauge will read that I am vacuuming at only around -4.0. Is something wrong? or is this normal? I see other people vacuuming at around -22.

If so, what could be potentially wrong with the car?
I have BOV's installed, but this reading was before that.

JB3
full Miltek exhaust
catless downpipes
BOVs
K&N intake


Reading on P3 gauge.

thanks!

More then likely you have a vacuum leak or a faulty gauge.

It is got to be a gauge problem if the car idles well and has power brakes.

I used to own a muscle car that idled at 8-9" Hg. It would idle very rough and you needed a vacuum pump for the brakes.

I found the problem, it was programming in the gauge. Lol i had to change a setting.
