Im getting all the boost in 1st gear, 2nd and 3rd. I thought someone said they didn't get that kind of boost or was it that it's not supposed to go up that high in 1st?

I don't normally pay attention to it but wanted to check it out. I get the boost. :):thumb: :nuts:

I think that is only on automatics that it keeps the boost down in first

I only see 12-13 pounds in 1st gear - first gear is over so fast that it just doesn't feel like the turbo has time to fully spool up. But then again I barely see 15 even in 3rd gear, so I might have a bit of a boost issue. This is a 5-speed too. I'm also at sea level if it makes a difference. I certainly have plenty of power in 1st gear, even from a roll it's almost impossible not to spin the tires all the way to 2nd gear.

I only see 9psi in first on the auto, then only up to 15 at other times
