Boost readings in 1st?

[C1TPT]

hi guys, couldnt really find anything with the search. i had a p-torque remap recently and just fitted a boost gauge. what do you lot get in first? im only seeming to get about 11psi if i take it to the redline in 1st, but if i start off from low revs in 3rd / 4th / 5th and take it to the red line i get about 17-18 psi??

any thoughts?

cheers

when you pull off in first gear - do you floor it or slowly accelerate?

flooring it in both situations

This is more than likly what you experiencing, I too thought it was an issue but it seems to be pretty normal.

If you are doing this from cold it will hold back boost as a saftey feature until the engine has reached a certain temp i found this out when i first got mine.
