Your 3rd gear

Does your 3rd gear feel as crappy as mine?

I can't hear the turbo boosting, or does it go fast on 3rd gear...

Even when I down shift to 3rd, I'm just not hearing the turbo whistling.

What the hell is going on?

My 3rd gear suck, or it needs to, some more air.

3rd is awesome, really pulls. But I'm stock so in 4th I can really feel the boost taper off, and 5th is even worse.
