without a reflash you probably shouldnt go over the stock boost level. On an STi you should be at 1bar.

I'm experiencing the same thing. 2nd gear pull, around 17 psi, 3rd gear goes all the way to 19 psi. Everything is stock, except the bov, which is a re-circulatory bov, and prosport boost gauge. Going to have it dynoed sometime this week to see if my boost gauge is off. Hopefully we just have factory freaks!!
