got boost? question

[turbojitsu85]

The car is running fine now that I put the new fp in and figured out that my boost gauge was lying to me. I cleaned and balanced the injectors and and had my mechanic fix what was causing the problem with the boost gauge. The question I have is when I lay on the pedal hard the boost gets to about 9 or 10 PSI then when I hit third gear i will shoot to about 13 or 14 PSI. Is this normal I thought that it should run the same amout of boost thru all of the gears?

is this a stock turbo?

I'm sorry to admit that it still is the stock turbo. I'm going to upgrade to a ta-49c but I need to save a little $money$ to do that because I'll also upgrade the injectors (55lbs), port the intake, and get a stall convertor. but until I have the money for that I'm sticking with the stock turbo.

I'm also going to upgrade the ecm and get a new chip I was thinking of going with caspers tumbwheel.

is your chip stock? It sounds like you have a problem, check out the headers and wastegate to make sure they are funtioning properly. Why are you planning on running 55 with a with a T49? 009's will work with the t49 and you don't have to have the ECM modified. if you upgrade beyond that setup you might consider even a lager size injector than the 55's if your doing the ECM. I like the multi position chips too

My chip isn't stock it's 93octane from Postons and the headers are fine I think it might be the wastegate solinod but I'm not sure how to be sure. About the injectors I was just figuring if I'm not happy or decide to eventually get an even bigger turbo that I wouldn't have to change the injectors when I do that.
