I reckon its down to your exhaust..
On a completely standard car, I found that there was absolutely no point going over 3k. With a stage 1 map, (std exhaust still), it was a bit better, and I found myself revving higher to around the 3.5 mark.
When I bought my stage 2 (standard exhaust with pikey decat), it was similar, 3.5k was the "natural" point to change when giving it beans. Now I've replaced the decat with a straight pipe and got a straight through backbox, I often find I'm up near the limiter without trying, the engine is so much more free revving.
I've also noticed that when approaching the limiter, the boost peaks, rather than dropping as per the OP.
