I find it normal to see 1 lb higher in third than 1st and 2nd gear but with 6 lbs difference you should wait until problem is solved or at least adjust your tune for the higher boost. Make sure your waste gate doesn't get stuck or has buildup.

If you have a flexible bellows, make sure it isn't coming apart on the inside.

Where are you measuring boost at? What type of boost controller are you using? What are you observing boost with?

Im reading boost from the guage and the logs on Hp tuners. I only have a 2 bar map. if i need to modify the position of the gate im fine with that i just dont know where to put it.
