i got a simailar prob my turbo is suposed to be runnin on 13psi but in 2nd gear it will hit that and soon as it changes into 3rd it will climb to like 18psi if i keep my foot planted, more or less the faster i go the more psi????

you need an electronic one, I have the same prob. slowly accelerating on a roll on will be less boost as the wastegate is opening up before it reaches your set point but when done quickly the boost spikes quicker and the wastegate can hold the higher boost.
