so what psi are you trying to hit, turbo type, ported or not, what boost you trying to hit? things like that can help us

im trying to boost around 20, but first gear is always 13 no matter how much i crank it up......... 2nd,3rd,4th, and 5th is usually around 20, but first is always 13.......... car is pretty much stock except for exhaust, modded maf, and boost gauge and controller......... any help would be helpful, thanks....

Is the turbo stock? if so, that is your problem.

 

[superdaddy]

what exactly do you mean........ more info please

 

[moliver]

Have you upgraded your turbo? If not, then your turbo maxes out around 14lb in first gear.

this is the first time it has happened...... it usually boosted at around the same as the other gears........

You can't put enough load on the engine in first to build higher boost. Stop trying.
