Temporary Loss of Boost...please help!

While accelerating onto the highway, boost at about 12psi, my boost gauge goes to zero. Then after I let off and try again, it still maxes out at about zero. Then after a minute, I get full boost again. Is my belt slipping? or something worse? Thanks for any help.

Not to panic, boost will cut out after certain rpm. Do a search there are a few ways to correct the problem.

Take off the connector that is in the red box. You wont have the computer dumping boost on you any more.
