Goodmorning MEXICANPT,

Yes it only works during powershifting and no I can't tell you why it works that way.

But think about it...there is no way you can hold boost on a normal shift because as soon as you let off the throttle to push the clutch in you have already lost turbine speed = lost boost. The automatic equipped cars are programmed to lose torque during the shift to lengthen the longevity of the tranny and I think (not sure) this is changed with the S1, S2 programming.
