you have a leak somewhere. this problem is not "normal" but it is common.
there are numerous threads concerning this exact thing, i myself have experienced this same problem.
most people with this problem can hear a sort of "fluttering" sound while the secondary turbo is engaged. There could be a problem with the turbo control actuator, the wastegate actuator, any of the vaccum hoses on the turbos, the 2 turbo control solenoids infront of the UIM, the vaccum chambers they are connected to, or any vaccum hoses at all. or you could have a clogged pre cat, or just failing turbos. In my case the vaccum hose to the Fuel Pressure Regulator had come off causing me to have an accelerated idle, bad vaccum at idle, and a "fluttering" 5-7psi when the secondary turbo was on line.
give me a few minutes and i'll shoot you some links to help troubleshoot the problem.

revsteve - in my case, I had 10-8-8 back in the day when my car was completely stock...so I would say you have a problem somewhere.
I've had a hose job done and was told the check valves completely crumbled in the mechanic's hands. I've had perfect boost since.
Check those along with the links stokedxiv is providing.
