How are you reading your boost? If you are using a gauge, then more than likely your gauge is about 1-2 psi off. Assuming 1.5 psi off, then you are spiking to about 22 psi and holding at 20 psi. Where is the boost gauge by redline?

He is right there is no boost gauge that reads the right boost unless its a boost log or a dig. gauge so that means your really only running 21 spike and droping down to 18-19.
