Default Those with GIAC

I was wondering if your boost levels change depending on what gear you are in.

Ex: 1st 10psi
2nd 15psi
3rd 20psi
4th 20psi
5th 20psi

I normally boost 18+ in all gears. Sometimes i see a drop off to 15psi, but thats usually in 3rd gear + close to redline.

I dont have a boost guage but I can tell you there is much more boost from second on just from the pull and the sound of the turbo. Damn turbo lag!!!!

From what info im seeing here is that its ok that the peak psi is different in different gears. The reason i am asking here is to compare MTM to GIAC since i cant get a hold of the only MTM dealer in the USA. I guess this could also be a good trouble shooting guide for future problems.

As far as I know, MTM is best for use with the S4. I dont think they have as great claims or peak #'s as GIAC or APR for the A4.
