Joe im in a similar boat, im going to double check all the one way valves on my car tonight. it boosts good on the first and nothing much on the 2nd. and i cant hear an awfull Hiss at idle or while on boost (other than what i think is the turbo noise) :Hammer

Yours probably isn\'t a boost leak. You\'re loosing too much on second, and nothing on first, so doubt it\'s a boost leak. Maybe the wastegate control perhaps?

i always thought the first turbo boosted 0.8 and the second boosted to 0.6?!?!

Thats what mine is currently doing and always has?

This is with the standard ECU and stuff is it?

No, standard boost pattern is 10-8-10 psi, which equates to 0.68-0.54-0.68 bar. Yours is slightly over, then slightly under.

oh poop, well my boost guage isn\'t the most accurate.. bounces around all over the place.. and rattles alot to...so maybe it isn\'t reading to well...
