Still being battled by the boost monsters

I had a post about this before but it has changed a little..... In 1st-5th it holds at 15psi but in 6th it holds at 19psi. I just got a mbc but wanted to see if i could figure this out first so i dont mess anything up. Thanks in advance

6th gear=higher load on the engine, which in turn, means higher boost.

Did you do a boostleak test? Like Testudio said higher gear = higher load more boost. Did you install your MBC already or are you running just off wastegate?

If you stilll have your stock DV on hand then reinstall it as the Greddy BOV may be affecting the scene. Oh yeah, and get a retune while you are at it.
