Only half boost :(

So Im only getting about 5 psi.. very depressing. Accelerates hard but in high rpm it just doesn't seem like the supercharger is doing much. I've been told my gauges are **** and they are not accurate. Glow shift gauges.

What I gotz:
deatschwerkz injectors, walbro fuel pump, transgo valvebody, uprev tune, fd lvsd swap, MD ART pipes.

Any thoughts? boost leak?

A boost leak should be easy to check for on a supercharger, start there first.

you need to tell us what supercharger kit and what size pulley you have installed.

generic answers: tighten your serpentine belt and check/re-tighten all couplers.

the stock vortech pulley is different if you have non-revup (3.33") versus a revup (3.12"). what boost did you hit during tuning? what power level?

Did you try unplugging your console and plugging it back in? Your Xbox seems to be malfunctioning

i had my bypass valve crapped out on the vortech resulting in boost only holding at 5lbs. If your car is still pulling after the gauge stops at 5, then it's the gauge, but if it hits 5 and your car feels like it stop making power, than you have a leak somewhere.
