quick ?
 
so i finally got a boost gauge....and noticed that in 3rd gear it hits 10psi then drops to a lil above 5 once it hits 10? didnt notice it in any other gear but i will check .....anything wrong with that? pretty sure there is..
thanks

What RPM does this drop occur at?
Is it in 3rd gear ONLY? What about 4th? 5th? (assuming you don't get pulled over going 100+ mph testing this out :)

Normal boost is going to hit 10 PSI then hold stead till around 4500 RPM
Then it will drop for a brief moment to around 7 PSI and then quickly recover back to 10 PSI and hold till redline.

This would be a "10-7-10" boost pattern. Sounds like you might have a "10-5-5" which might indicate that the pills are missing in your turbo control lines.

Do a search on "pills" and "boost" for more info.

The turbo control system is ridiculously complicated, but when it works right, it makes the car wonderful to drive!
