What happens after 1.5bar?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Mike,

The ECU doesn't know what gear you're in, it knows the load you're applying
on the engine instead. And air flow is the same and it doesn't matter what
gear you're in, BTDT, and IMHO/IME, you should get lower boost in 1st/2nd
gears than in 3rd/4th BTST too. You can go for a drive and see if you get
the cut-off easier in 2nd than in 5th, then you'll know...

I think you have a serious boost leak issue, or a dead bypass valve...

HTH,

Mihnea
