Peak boost at 1st & 2nd gear?

What's normal peak boost at 1st & 2nd gear?
I'm seeing around 1.25 to 1.28 hkpa on my blitz dtt....
I think that converts to 18.3 to 18.8 psi... is this normal for a
stock EVO?

I took my EVO to track last weekend.. .and I expericed a lot of
turbo lag... so just wondering if this is normal and whether if I
have a boost leak or not...

Thanks,

Its on par with me.

I run the SBC ID II and I hit about 17.9x in first gear. I peak at 21psi with the gain set at 64. I cruise around town usually at 55 which is about 18psi..Anyway I can hit full boost (21psi) in 2nd gear as you asked.
