its happening already????
iVE ONLY HAD MY CAR BACK FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND im noticing some strange boost levels. Whats happening is that at WOT, the boost is about 6 lbs, then when it reaches about 6k RPM the boost goes to 0 and the fuel pressure goes to 80 LBS. The car just looses power because its not getting boost or fuel. No idea what it can be? Belt maybe? I know someones gotta know about what it is, so someone help!!! PLEASE.

Sounds like belt slip....but if that was the case then you would see boost come back around 1-2psi...build up again and start slipping at higher boost levels. Unless the belt is glazed from slipping a lot.

I'm at about 8-9k miles on my blower and on my 3rd belt. I've had similar problems to what you are experiencing.
