IN MY BOOST GAUGE IS SEE 7 PSI GOOD IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR BUT ONCE IN THE HIGHER GEARS THE BOOST DROPS AROUND 4500 RPM TO ZERO AND THEN ITS START CLIMBING AGAIN. HAS ANY SUPERCHAGRED TC OWNERS HAD THIS PROBLEM?

nope, it will drop the PSI because it does not hold it too well, after all you are supposed to see 7 psi at redline.
Is your belt slipping? BPV is it stock?
