Bogus Boost in 1st and 2nd
Do I not know how to drive? I only get 4-6 psi boost in 1st or 2nd gear.
I get 10-8-12 in third and fourth. I don't have the guts to drive fast enough to test the high end boost in 5th.
I know I am pushing it getting 10+ with my mods, so I don't push it that hard that often.
Still, any ideas why the boost is so low in the low gears?

Things happen alot quicker in lower gears, so low boost in 1st and 2nd is typically a sign that an actuator is moving too slowly.

As LARacer pointed out, check the TCA and the Turbo Control Solenoid.
