Question

not a very technical bloke but i will try to explain, pull away hard in 1st gear boost holds 14 psi to redline,hard in 2nd, 14 psi till about 5500 rpm then falls away until about 11 psi at the redline,into 3rd once again holds 14 psi to redline.
can't say i've noticed it before today, is something wrong, if so what should i be looking for?

Boost will always drop off like that towards the redline.
Nowt to worr about.
You will probably notice in 4th and 5th that the drop is much slower, but will happen
