Hey guys....

Well last night I finally installed a boost gauge, now I have a few questions about the Boost readings.

In first I didn't catch the boost level, but I am pretty sure it wasn't 15psi. In second, I get 12psi. In third I get 15, but it tapers off to 12 around 5-5500rpm. Fouth and 5th do pretty much the same as 3rd. I didn't try 6th as I was already going a little fast.

Spike seems to get up to 18ish in 3rd, 4th, 5th.

My question is....should I have 15psi of boost in 1st and 2nd also?

Thanks,
Ryan

Oh...and I have had the flash/recall done last week.
