I floored it twice today, deliberately watching the boost gage, both times in third gear. 82° F., ~50 ft. elevation: +15 psi. 78° F., ~1,000 ft. elevation: +15 psi. About 1,700 miles on the engine, running 92/3? octane. I didn't think to disable the TCS or ESC before testing, so they were enabled.

With the ECU's in these cars they don't really care what boost levels they make they shoot for a target air mass / torque and it uses whatever amount of boost it takes to make that number....moral of the story boost is just a number....no matter what the gauge says you are still making the same power.
