Default ls/vtec turbo revving problem!!!

i'm running stock internals block/head and stock ecu and i boost it two days ago and just finish putting on my custom downpipe today. took my car out for a test drive and stepping on the gas peddle slowly to the floor, 1st and 2nd gear will rev up to 8k with no problem but 3rd won't go pass 6k. try it three time and same thing always happen. no check engine light or nothing. anyone one know what might be the problem PLEASE let me know.

thanks

Please pass "GO", do not collect your $200, get that stock ECU chipped with a basemap of your setup stay the hell out of boost, go STRAIGHT to a tuner, and have your car dyno tuned before it...

Like others have said, I'd take the car straight to a tuner before you mess **** up completely, if you haven't already. Good luck man.

I hope you didn't lean the motor out to much and are you running stock injectors?
