It sounds like there was a problem before when it was reaching full boost at 2500. That is definatly not the norm. 3200 is where I hit ful boost.

really well, i had bought the car with 200 miles on it if that makes a diference

Yeah, no USDM Evo hits full boost at 2500rpm. I think you must have been on some meds or something, because even 3200rpm is VERY EARLY. I hit full boost around 3600-3700rpm in 3rd gear. Of course, putting it in top gear and flooring it causes more load, which spools it earlier, but I don't ever refer to 6th gear spool as where I hit "full boost." Even in 6th gear or so, 3200rpm is pretty damn early. I'd be very happy if I were you, because full boost at 3200rpm is awesome. Complaining about turbo lag from 2500-3200 is pretty funny...
