Boost for each gear

Who has boost gauge on your C32 AMG?
Can you provide your max boost for each gear?
I'm use 181mm pulley and get the 10psi when 1 - 2 gear, 13psi for 3 gear.
How about your boots? Any suggest?

Don’t have a boost gauge per se.

However, OBD II data logging has recorded approximately 17 psi in second, 18 in third, and 19 toward the top of fourth during relatively cool ambient conditions. Off-highway operation, of course.

Did you by chance have yours installed prior to its pulley upgrade - for comparative purposes?

Thanks for the link. It is help me understand the boost limit for each gear.
My C32 is second hand and including 181mm pulley. That's why I can't comparative the pressure with stock pulley.

If you have a 181, your boost is way too low. What are you using to get your numbers? An actual boost guage? Have you checked compression or any obvious signs of boost leak?

Yes! I use boost gauge to monitor my C32 and I saw the boots is low.
That's why I hope find the answer here. I will check the rubber pipe and pad
on the inter cooler. Thanks for your remind.
