hi guys,
i have a manual boost controler, damian dela huerta style, and everythings seems ok....except first gear.

the only way i can get first gear to spool past 6 psi is having all the other gears insanely high.
first gear only spools to ~5-6psi, and all the rest are fine being manualy bled off.

i do know that manual controlers arent dynamic, so the increasingly let more boost into the engine with each higher gear. but my first is only going to 5-6, wtf.
checking 'all my vacuum lines' is harder for me then most, has anybody had this specific problem?

do i just now start looking for an ebc?
or does anybody have a suggestion/remedy?

i have a like new 3bar profec b Ill sell ya for a decent price....sounds like yer getting way too much prespool...like its all bleeding to the second turbo...i dont know that boost controller...(is it home depot style?)..but assuming you are using the needle valve system...you will need to back off on the prespool....one valve controlling prespool and the other controlling boost total..yes?

a clogged cat can cause similar issues...i was only able to boost nine lbs with the cat on primary...so i gutted it just to test and the boost went up to 12lbs on the primary.

what are your mods?

beware turning up the boost without tuning...beware beware beware...you will lose that motor. baby steps man...baby steps.

search search....the info is around...
