Your engine needs to have load on it to build boost.

you build boost reletive to load on the engine.

if in first gear you may hit max boost at like 5k

then in second you may hit it at 4600

third 4300

fourth 4100

fifth 4k

thats all just an example because your engine is fighting against gearing

but in neutral you have no load on the engine from from your gearbox because you are not turning any gears
