Default boost gauge idle nuisance...

ok for the past couple of days my boost gauge has been idling around like -17 or -16 after full warm up when it should be idling at -20 or whatever. Not really that big of a deal but can anyone tell me what would cause this? I was hoping that someone might have an idea as to why it would idle strange like that. Car runs perfect by the way, just got new ignition coils installed last week. Any feedback would be helpful.

well its weird...sometimes after full warm up it will idle at normal -20 and sometimes like -16 or so. The rpms at idle is at 800 which is normal. It possibly could be a vacuum line but I had it checked out a month or ago when they used a smoke machine to look for leaks and found none. I have a strange feeling that its software related. Not really a big deal, the car performs well and without any issues..just the idle nuisance every once in a while...random idles. The car does what it wants..I dont argue haha
