Finally got the boost gauge in... so what should I look for?

i.e. what are normal boost levels? At idle it is around 20 psi vacuum, and when I get on the gas it shoots up to around 18 psi.

What are normal boost levels? I have an APR chip with 93 octane program, and a Forge DV, but that's about it for engine mods.
