Should i be getting any boost in 1st gear? I only get maybe 2-3psi.. Turbo LS
I was always under the impression that I shouldnt be boosting any in first gear but now I am not so sure. I am running 9psi on a Turbo LS. I also use tial wastegate and profec b.. not sure if that matters.. Any Idea why I am not if I am supposed to be?

Yup boost in first gear sucks....too much power. Pretty sick tho having enuff power for your tires to break loose, but sucks for acceleration.

You might be making enough pressure in the other gears to overcome it.
