Default Boost question

Boost question..

So I finally installed a boost gauge.
And it reads in BARR.
if I put it under a full load it goes up to about .95 bar and then it drops to .6 or .7.
If I’m driving along at 3000 RPM with half throttle it’s showing about .6 bar

Going up a hill with full throttle add to 3200 RPM it’s about .6 bar.
Maybe .65.
If I go up a hill at a slightly higher RPM say 3600 RPM then it’s .7 bar.

Any thoughts?
I’m not sure what normal is for this engine/turbo.
I think it’s a little abnormal that it would go up to .95 and then drop to six or seven.
Seems like the unloading valve is opening.
I’m not sure if that is the right specification or not.
Would appreciate any insight or feedback.
Thanks
