Default Boost questions
So I was having a look what I am boosting today for peak and taper and found that (just according to my gauge mind you, not logged) in 1st gear I boost to about 11psi, no taper. 2nd and 3rd gear are 16psi peak, taper to about 12psi. It seems odd to me that I would not hit just as high a peak boost in 1st.

Any opinions? I can log and see requested vs. actual, but not for a day or two.

Car is a 2000 2.7t mt6 with an AMS chip.

Thanks,
Sean

Common, 1st gear is too short to allow full boost. Nothing to worry about.
