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
