I do not think I have ever seen anyone deal with a boost issue to such and extant. You have to take into consideration the pulley that you are putting on is based on a stock engine for boost numbers. So you have def free'd it up a great bit, therefore boost is going to vary. If the new IC didn't affect it then it is prob legit. Have you tried switching boost gauges, to see if your current one might be bad? I have been running the same belt now for over 2 years( gates HD) and I do not think I am seeing any slip, I believe I am running a 3.5 pulley, am seeing right about 13-14 on the shifts. Of course my belt is TIGHT, I am still using a stock tensioner also..
