I currently am running a setup w/ tial 38mm WG, MBC, and vitesse chips. The mbc is as low as it goes. I am reading 10-12 psi in 1st gear and full 15psi in 3rd on my aftermarket boost gauge. However, in 4th, I appear to be pushing 16-17 psi. In 5th, I am slightly higher and it seems to back off when going above 17psi. Any idea's on what's going on? Thanks

This is a TEXTBOOK description of pinched exhaust or clogged catylist.
Your 38MM is not causing boost creep.
The problem is that it is being forced to vent ALL energy, which is greater in higher gears.

I am not sure I am following you here. I'm pretty sure that it is not the cat, I had that gutted long ago. I will attempt to crawl under the car tomorrow and check the orientation of the WG, or I'll do the lazy thing and take it to my mechanics lift. I'll update you guys on what I find.
