Default APR chip impressions....Possible problems

I just had the APR chip installed. I defintaly like it but have a few concerns I hope someone might be about to help out with. I only get full boost if I start the gear at a certain RPM. Some times if i start out in first slowly then hammer it once im going like ten it only gives me 5 psi of boost. It does that in all the gears. Another thing is if im going less than 65mph in 5th and give it full throttle it bounces from 10 psi 10 about 15 psi. Is any of this normal, or should i be able to get boost in all gears regardless of the rpm range I choose to go full throttle in? When the boost does kick in it definatly moves though. any help would be appreiciated. Thanks

Default You have a issue. My APR chip spikes at 20 psi. I can almost get it that high at will....

If I stomp it in any gear I'll get that thing pumpin'.

Default What should it run up to master Jedi? SInce I installed the AWE gauge that's what the high mark is.

No driveability problems and smooth as glass.
