Weird boost issue

Ok.

Solely talking about 1st gear here.

Regardless of how I jump on the throttle; it seems that my primary is fine. 12-14psi no problem. When I transition, it falls on it's ***. The secondary doesn't do ANYTHING and I fall to somewhere around 5 psi. Now, any other gear is fine, I transition beautifully, though I am having some other weird things happen, but nothing that's detrimental(sp) to performance.

So, knowing that everthing works for all intents and purposes mechanically, what are some suggestions for things to check to see why the secondary turbo won't come on-line?

I DID search...so...

Thanks all in advance.....

When did the problem start? Have you checked for crossed Electrical Plugs on your Pre-Turbo/Wastegate solenoid???
