Stock Strim, Boost levels per gear and loading up probs!!!
What i'm asking is a newbie question most likely. SO bare with me... I noticed when i stomp it in 1st gear the boost climbs very quickly to 8psi approx. Then I slowly shifted to 2nd(just put on being careful till dyno time tomorrow sunday), it was once again floored and it goes right up to 5psi then gradually climbed up to about 8psi approx. I thought under load and load increasing as you shift the quicker it would hit its highest boost level. When i hit 2nd or even roll along at 4K Rpm's and smack on it i thought it would go right up to max boost levels but it hits about 5 then goes up. When in 1st gear with supposed less load it jumps up there very quickly. Is this normal boosting or something not right? My thinking out of whack or something?

So with that also i believe the car is loading up on deceleration. The check engine light only comes on when let off the gas and slowing down while in gear especially down hill. Sometimes when that comes on i try to give it gas and it has a slight hesitation like it loaded up and goes fine. Don't see a big cloud of smoke when it does it just like it loaded up. If it is loading up what should me attack plan? Thanks for any replies and hope to sit it on the rollers tomorrow to check air fuel etc for driveability and maybe make a full pull to make me sad at my low #'s.
