Default 7.5psi in 2nd and 3rd, but 9psi in first.. why?

Im using the Turbo XS highperformance boost controller and when I set the boost setting to 7.5psi in 2nd.. then i hit 7.5 again in third... but when I floor it in first ill see the gauge go all the way to 9psi.. what could be causing this?

Im not sure, but when I hit 9 its time to shift anyways, then in 2nd and again in 3rd it stays at 7.5, no spike

I dont know why its spiking, only spikes in first gear.. but I hit 10psi earlier .. My turbo didnt have a vacum port in the side of the compressor so I think im gonna tap a fitting into the piping under the turbo and run the vacum line from the side port of the wastegate to that, then run another vacum line from the top port to the bc and then to the intake manifold.. anyone think that will help get better control?
