odd boost needle?

I'm wondering if my car is tryin to boost more than should. For instance when I take off from 1st 2nd it seems to jump to to high between shifts. I'm shifting at 25k.

This is not the problems section of this forum just a fyi. (You want to post in problems and maintenance sub-forum).

More information is needed for anyone to give help/advise

Good chance that's what it is, but given the lack of info going straight to clogged cat is difficult since we don't know what pulley/tune and what his WOT boost is

Im confused
Why is there any boost if your doing a 1-2 shift at 2.5k?
Wot short shift?
I dont know too much about lsj and how bypass and the tune works and such but if I am putting along granny shifting at 2.5k there's no boost.
Hell if your shifting it that low you could be causing it to bog down

I thought shifting at 3k was high but maybe I should try it. It just seems like my needle jumps into boost to soon like around 3-5psi

Agreed 3-5 is not high. Does the lsj control boost off throttle/load?

I'm boosting over that its just seem its boosting to soon. I think the my buddy adjusted my valve on the sc and its allowing it to boost when it shouldn't

I try to keep it out of boost riding around town but its hard with it trying to hit into boost

No just when I take off threw the gears it seems the needle reaches boost to easily like around5-7 psi. Its almost impossible to stay out of boost just daily driving it. My friend says it could be the bv on the sc was somehow adjusted and throwing my boost levels off.

That sounds about normal

There is a tune option that ZZP offers that I have where it reduces boost by 50% in 1st gear.
