I have im trying to compare, to make sure mine is ok. it seems to be the same as yours, spikes to about 20 holds for a while. does yours hold boost all the way through to the redline, or drop off before?

your hasnt got a FMIC So guessing heatsoak would kill the pressure and cause it to drop...

Mine peaks at 1.6BAR (23psi), holds at around 1BAR (14.5psi) but tails off quite quick. (ko3 on REVO1 by the way)
