Sorry, Dave is "Gsxr", one of the most knowledgeable members regarding the 603.

You cannot get a valid test to see what is going to the tranny unless you drive the vehicle and observe the gauge.

You can set up a T in the output to the tranny where the gauge fits the T and you run the hose into the cabin to monitor the gauge.

Since the tranny vacuum is regulated by boost pressure, you cannot get a proper reading by sitting in your driveway.
