Default 25psi spike on awe stage 3.. normal?
My car will spike to 25psi and then taper to about 20psi if I really hammer on it.

Just wondering if this is normal.

No, what file are you running? You listening for pinging? What gear?

With boost gauge, mostly 2nd and 3rd gear. No pinging.

Default Any new hardware, how long have you run the gauge? You should...
log with ECUx or VAG-COM and see what it reads. We just had a car hitting 25 psi on a boost gauge and in reality it was only 21 ish.

Default I would def log the throttle body to see if N75 is working right.
Don't remember the block though (possibly 003?) but my wastegate line was all melty melt...once i fixed it it spikes @ 23-24 and settles smoothly down to 21... cant complain and it pulls much harder in the higher RPMs then when I thought it was running correctly.
