no boost in 1st

So recently I've noticed i'm getting very little boost in first, a little more in 2nd and by 5th and 6th i'm getting pretty much normal boost. Anyone know what might be going on? I got the car about 5,000 miles ago and haven't been beating on it.

It may be your wastegate actuator needs to be adjusted 3-4 turns to give it more preload. If there is not enough preload the wastegate flapper opens too early and causes lag and fluctuations.

Of course, you should definently run a boost leak test to see if a hose has popped off or something.

Stock BCS? I bet your car is tuned for boost by rpm. You can do that in stock ECU.
