boost question
 
hey folks took my car out today and its boosting at 0.7 bar in 1st and 2nd then drops off to 0.5 in 3rd and 4th is this normaly?

normal fella.
it's all due to the surge in the actuator and in the first couple of gears the actuator doesn't have time to settle down properly and so you only really see the surge, whereas in the higher gears you are in them longer and can see the spike and then the settled boost.
