You only see boost when their is enough gas movement to spool it up, so you shouldn't be seeing anything at idle. With the stock turbo, I would have a about 2 psi at 2k rpm in neutral. With my new turbo, I get around 2 psi at 100 km/h

If you have boost at idle, you have too small of a turbo, lol. Turbo's build boost under load, that's why you'll never hit peak boost free revving in neutral.
