Default Boost with chips (in general)

I've used a couple of chips (Wett, GIAC, Neuspeed ...) and I've noticed that boost in 1st gear is lower than boost in the higher gears. Is there a reason for that? Thanks...

Chris

Probally b/c the turbo doesn't have enough time to spool up in 1st.

Default Boost in Terms of PSI? Or Feel?

The boost as you probably know is based on RPM and how the chip is programmed. I notice a butt-load of "physical" boost (feeling in the seat) in 1st Gear w/ my MTM Stage II. Short it is but man..definitly puts you in the back seat. All the other gears feel awesome too. But in terms of physical G's...1st Gear is the biggest for me.
