Sorry my boost gauge is the Volvo one with no numbers but much like v8volvo reported above, as the engine reaches 2500RPM the gauge heads towards ~75% of max boost, then quickly to max as the RPMs rise and stays there as the auto trans shifts thru the gears, maybe slight blips at each gear change.

As long as the RPMs, load, and accelerator pedal are there the boost will remain pegged, as in climbing a steep hill.

Another IP tuning area that can contribute to your reported boost behavior is the LDA starwheel and preload.
