Looking at the graph above, it looks like on the high side is 9.5 and maybe to 7psi. That is 2.5# that it is dropping. Trever1T only loses a 1/2#, but he has a 5.3. Is it the 6.0?

Have you noticed if maybe the belt is slipping? With a smaller blower pulley it has a higher probability of slipping. Any signs of belt shavings?

This is problably a dumb question but how do they measure boost on the dyno?

Mine holds steady till the end but I'm only running 6-7lbs. I wonder if a 90mm throttle body might help, I'm running one and I think Krambo is also.

Belt doesnt seem to be slipping.

Boost is measured by tapping into a vacuum line. The IAT sensor is the one in the one in the manifold and it measures temperature.
