Default New car but still no honda.. Galant VR4

This kinda randomly found me haha. I saw it in a yard near me like a week ago, and was like hmm wonder if its a vr4. Yesterday I saw it for sale so I stopped and to my suprise it was. Called the number, guy came and I test drove it, bought it right there cuz I always kinda liked these cars. Basically bone stock except for a bov lol. Came with a boost gauge too, some defi knockoff.

It's not even that fast..but its not too bad. I think i may have a problem as the digital boost gauge shows me losing a little bit of boost near redline..anyone know if this is normal?

Onto the pics..its looks a lil bit cleaner in the pics but its still not bad at all.

yes the boost tapers off towards redline in all turbo cars. This is the reason for a boost controller to keep boost up and less taper
