you should be holding a bit more than that at redline.
Are you sure the boost gauge is accurate?
Did you check all the vac lines on the intake manifold?
are you tuned for more boost? 19 is low to be peaking...
Another guess is from the heat the boost is down a touch so you can raise the boost back to where you had it before. If you need more help shoot me a pm.
Cheres!

With the electronic it might be hard to see the spike...Ive never had an electronic but it would seem like the gauge wouldnt be able to react fast enough to show the spike on the display. Where as with a needle you physically see it wrap around...
for example...with a multimeter you can not see an instanteous spike in voltage with a digital, but you can with an analog...make sense?
