Boost Pattern
I finally hooked my boost gauge up and the readings seam a little weird. When the car is under wide open throttle between 2400 and 4500 rpm boost shoots up to 14psi and then it feels like there is a small hesitation and the drops to 5psi but still pulls fairly hard. Is this the way it is supposed to work or is there some thing wrong. Thanks

The stock set up should put you between 8 to 10 on primary and then you will see a your booost gauge needle "flicker" when the secondary opens on high load(above 4500). Now the needle will max to 11psi when booth turbos are in full sequence or wide open together. It all can vary depending on your engine strength,etc. If you have some mods.(particularly downpipe) some cars do experience boost spike. The stock ecu is set to cut at 12 psi(previously mentioned). If you are dropping to 5psi every run, go get it checked. You might have something hindering proper boost(loose oil line to that turbo,etc.) Hope this gives you a better idea.GOOD LUCK!!G.......

your boost pattern should be, 10-8-10, i almost guarantee that it is the two solenoids that are under the upper intake manifold, try switching them and se what you get, all you have to do is remove the presure chamber(little black box in front of the UIM) and they sit right behind there. Be cvarefull when doing this and back off the pedal if the boost looks like its not going to stop... Let me know what this does....

Well my car is completely stock so there is no reason that the boost should go all the way to 14psi, and I don' t think it is fuel cutting. I have the factory shop manual and it has nothing about this in it at all. Some guys say it can be the clip on the acctuator that has fallen off, but I have not had a chance to check it yet. I will check my solenoids in the next few days.
