Oh I know that, but I think I was getting full boost in at least 2nd gear when I first got the car a few weeks ago. Thought 1st too. Need to fix a hose coming from the i/c and see what happens. Could I be getting a certain amount of boost, but lose it to the broken hose? Is that possible? Like I am getting 5# but only really feeling 2# or so? Can that happen?

Turbo boost is dependent on engine load.  In 1st and 2nd gear, there is just not enough time for the engine to load before you hit redline.  You should see full boost in 3rd gear though...

Hmm..I guess, I could have sworn I was getting full boost in 2nd though. And I ran my car down my street before parking and it seemed to take a while to get full in 3rd even. Not good.
