I think it’s probably the fall off. I’ve read about people manually shifting before the redline in other cars compared to LC which did it at the redline and they said they got faster times when they manually shifted and kept the car in boost.
Also, my peak values of boost are - 27.3, 28.1 and 28.4
Thank god the app saves the peak values and you can see it. I’ve posted in the n54tech forum. Let’s see what they say.
