why did you think you were getting it if you don't know?

have you got a boost gauge?, it's a sure way to tell.

What you want to do is find out what boost your car is supposed to run and then relate this to a boost gauge.

What I presume you are talking about is when you floor it in 4th for example and the boost peaks higher in a flash of overboost then settles back to the target or desired boost level. This is visible on a boost gauge as you floor it watch the needle if it swings to a level (1.2bar for example) then goes back to a lower level(1bar for example) as you keep your foot down it's overboosting.

-boost levels for example only mate!

make sense?
