strange boost issues
so tonight i'm playing around a little and notice that in second gear i am pulling around 14 psi which i guessed was because of the nice cold weather or whatever, but when i hit third gear and max it out, it only goes to 12-12.5 before you see the needle bouncing around from the bypass valve actually opening.
has anyone seen this issue before? it's like my system isn't limiting boost in second, but is in third. i'm not sure about the other gears cause i didn't want to be driving that fast tonight.
i'm not even sure what would cause this, unless it's just a fault in the pcm

if its bouncing around I would check your lines if I was you ... the first ss i test drove had a similar issue with the bouncing needle and it turned out to be a disconnected line

it's not bouncing much at all, you can see it twitching around the levels where the bypass should be kicking in and letting the boost out. maybe it's got something to do with the new exhaust i put on... but it shouldn't be doing it in only one gear though

i guess it has to be this or something. maybe i'll temporarily wire in a mecahnical gauge today and drive around with it to see if it's actually getting that

yeah noone has really mentioned any speculation on the increase in boost with the stage upgrades just that there will be one .... hmm maybe I should go find those other threads and re-read them again
