Fluctuating Boost?

I have a stock IX GSR, no mods. Sometimes when I WOT, i would hit 1.3-1.4 bars of boost (which is normal) and then fall back to 1.1 or 1.2 bars. In lower gears sometimes it will even fall back as far as 1.0 bar! Is this normal? Should my boost be fluctuating at all since I'm stock? Sometimes it holds the 1.3-1.4 all the way to redline but other times it hits the 1.3-1.4 then immediately falls back to 1.1 or 1.2 and sometimes as far as 1.0 bar...

Its perfectly normal. Depending on engine load and gear your stock BCS will spike/taper to different amounts.

i figured. in 1st and 2nd gear, it falls back to about 1.1 bars. in 3rd and 4th gear, it only falls back to like 1.2 or so. in 5th gear it falls back just slightly or none at all.
