It will do! lol
The engine is under less load and for a shorter period of time, perfectly normal.

Really, funny how i didnt notice it before mate? i thought something was wrong, in 2nd it is on full boost at 4000rpm just under, the rest of the gears is 3000rpm,

what do you mean by load?

Yeah thats normal, i'm not even sure if mine makes full boost in 2nd would lose traction first!!
Because it's a lower gear the engine is under less load/stress and so doesnt flow/breathe as much as in higher gears, bit like cycling a bike up a steep hill in 1st then trying the same hill in 21st gear! Your legs wil be under a lot more stress/load so you'll be breathing heavier lol ........same goes for your engine as you go up through the gears.
