Default Turbo: Boost Pressure @ Idling

Should there be any boost pressure reading when the car is idling?

Very easy DIY, providing you haven't been sold a defective sender by your dealer!

It was a nightmare, it went into my local OPC in the end. They 1st stated that the sender was ok, and tried a replacement speedo with computer, then thought it might be the central informer, I told them all these items worked fine before I swapped the sender out, so they tried another sender and everything was sorted. They didn't charge me any labour as they claimed it direct from PCGB as they had supplied a defective new part.
