Default VAST Boosting question... need advice from the pros!

When I hold 4th gear, I'm seeing 25-27 PSI. I cant really look for too long because im hauling ***, but should that be turned down a notch? I don't want to overboost my turbos. Little backround on my setup, is im @ sea level first off, second im running their latest stuff RS4 Airbox Hitachi RS4 MAF, Bosch GG Injectors, straight piggies, no cats at all blah blah.

That might be what your gauge is reading, log it to make sure

What does it hold in other gears? Also remember 4th gear=more load

Default Well slightly lower, I guess I can ask, do they tune boost only in 3rd? ....

its not like the turbo wont blow because the boost in third is OK and fourth is higher LOL.

Default MBC and turn it down a bit, my setup was overboosting like that before as well

except even in 2nd and 3rd, it was scary fast but i could tell it wasn't going to be good for the long haul. VAST MBC in parallel and clip those spikes.
