If it's "holding" those boost pressures then i would think your car has had it's boost upped at some point.

What a dick I totally mis-read your first post
To answer your question, No - your car will hold higher boost in the higher gears. Your engine has to be "worked" to build boost. 1st and 2nd will not work the engine hard enough to build boost
