Car feels sluggish not sure if underboost

Could someone help me out? Why does my boost target say 25psi I set it as 17-18 according to the logs its achieving around 17psi. I'm still on base map by the way.

The car feels like sluggish/jerk when I accelerating this happens mostly on only 5th and 6th gear sometimes 4th but 3rd is flawless smooth.

I've attached my logs see if you can help me out, please. Thanks!

5-6th gear pull https://datazap.me/u/e92garrettz/5th...og=0&data=3-22

3rd gear pull https://datazap.me/u/e92garrettz/652021?log=0&data=3-22

Mods: 6266 bottom mount ST on 91 octane pump gas no Port injection yet.

don't take this the wrong way but...

Have you got a custom tune by a tuner or is this a DIY tune you've done?

Possibly, according to the logs the boost target is set around 25psi from what I can see on the 3rd gear log,

Have you asked them to set it lower like 18psi?

Can see the throttle is WOT byt your boost and target both fluctuating wildly, Could be an issue with the boost controller or wastegates.

I don't really know much about external wastegates and boost controllers, have you asked your tuner what could be causing the overboosting /underboosting issues?
