The turbo will only really produce boost with the engine under load, e.g. driving along.
If you rev it high enough it may make the gauge flicker a little but that will be about it.

depending on where you've taken the feed for the gauge from, you should see vac on idle...

just quickly, is boost anything zero plus or is it counted as 10 psi when idle (mine is around -10) and the needle reaches zero?

the -10 is a vacuum, 0 is atmospheric pressure as a NA would see, then anything above zero is what the turbocharger is providing. so 10 on your gauge would be 10psi boost *smiley*
