Boost went from 12 to 6 lbs
So this weekend I took car out for a nice drive through national forest.. first time really having car out and getting on it since supercharger install. On the way back from drive I started getting on it little harder and notice that it was making only about 5 to 7 lbs of boost. When before it was making around 12lbs.. I checked the belt I can't really see anything wrong but I don't know.. it was a 50 degree day so I wouldn't think heat soak.. any ideas or advice would be very appreciated. . This is my first supercharger car so not very familiar. .

Belt or boost leaks would be first guess. Check bypass valve that it's not stuck open either. What kind of setup? My boost went up in the cold.

It's a lsa supercharger. How do I check to see if bypass is stuck open?

This is how you adjust it -- using the $12 tool:

I would lean towards belt slip if on the 6 rib setup

You will not reach full boost unless your at full throttle. Ted.

Yes when I noticed it.. I made a point to get rolling in fourth and then put it to the floor. I have a peak recall on my boost gauge so was able to check after going full throttle.. before when in second I could get on it and wheels would break loose boost would jump up to around 10 to 12 .. thanks again for all yall's ihelp
