    Either belt slip, vacuum leak or bad gauge.

    Problem: Vacuum leak.

    The vacuum leak would make the gauge not work correctly but your blower would still produce the correct amount of boost.

    Fix: Just check all lines to ensure a proper connection. Then test with a vacuum tester to see if it holds.

    Problem: Belt Slip

    Belt slip would make the gauge show an amount of boost that it is currently making +/-. The belt slip would not produce the correct amount of boost that the pulley is made to make.

    Fix: Add an auxiliary pulley and or change the belt / belt size.

    Problem: Gauges

    A bad gauge is just a bad gauge. try your friends again just to eliminate the easy problem first.

    Fix: Get a new gauge.

    i ran a 2.76 upper and 2LB lower for the longest. i am now moving up to a 4lb lower and with a good exhaust i hope this combo will be good for me. i would go with a 2lb lower IMO unless you plan on long tubes. oh yeah a port will drop boost alittle imo.
