Question Turbo Vacuum

Yeah....So what is it?
Namely, what could cause such a phenomon, I know about air dynamics, pressure, how a turbocharger works. I just dont understand how pressurized air could lead to air being taken out of the cylinders, how does this happen??
Thanks

I was lookin through some catalogue, advertising spedometer/tachometer/etc., one of the gauges was a turbo gauge, which was "Equipped to show turbo vacuum", and the gauge started at 20, 10, 0, 10, 20, etc. starting with vac and then moving to boost.
Maybe it is just fabricated, who knows?

I suppose you could see a slight amount of manifold vacuum if you went from idle to WOT suddenly... otherwise that gauge should read above zero most of the time, right?

Yea, that sounds about right...maybe just a waste of plastic and paint

If that said "equipped to show turbo boost and manifold vacuum," it would make more sense. When the throttle is closed, there will be vacuum in the intake manifold. When the throttle is open and the turbo is making boost, there will be pressure in the intake manifold. The gauge will display both. Don't most boost gauges show manifold vacuum?

The gauge (stock) in my car shows both vacuum and boost... all the aftermarket gauges I have seen show the same thing...

that's right... I don't know what I was thinking... if the manifold didn't have vacuum at closed throttle, there'd be no controlling the engine.

Of course...I was thinking cylinder pressure for some odd reason when I originally posted this, but the vacuum in the manifold makes sense...niec.
