Question acceleration flat after 4000 rpm

Driving the 951 today (about 3rd time out with it after repairs completion) and was accelerating. Boost came on about 3000 or so rpm and then as it got to a little over 4000, it seemed to go flat/come off boost. No noticable unusual noises. I have stock set up with reliboost, shimmed wastegate and CV disabled. Vacuum lines are silicone and were recently replaced.

Thanks

What does your boost-curve look like? What boost do you get at 4000rpm+? If you are getting more boost at 4000rpm+ than stock, you need the appropriate increase in fuel to match.

I will try to look at the gauge to see what level of boost I am getting. What is the limit for the stock FPR? I am running stock (cleaned and tested) injectors.

I paid attention to boost gage while accelerating when driving to/from work today. I noticed 2 things:
1. It did not have the same behavior (flat spot) as yesterday - it kept running strong to 6000 rpm today.
2. Instrument panel boost gage showed around 1.5 - 1.7 bar when under boost.
When accelerating today, I used a continuous increase pedal pressure. Not really sure how I applied the pedal yesterday (perhaps a much faster application).

My impression of the turbo acceleration is wow!
Thanks
