    My car doesn't start building boost until about 3000RPM and maybe hit 8 or 10 psi by like 4800-5000RPM in 1st, never above 5psi in any other gear/rpm????
    :shrug: Wastegate Actuator????

    Sounds like your wastegate flapper is held partially open...and/or your stock boost controller isn't working.
