Question Booost Problems???

Just placed a 6# lower pulley on the other day and am only reading 10#s max on my autometer gauge. Before the 6# pulley my stock was making little over 9#s of boost w/ the airbox mod. So where's the Booost??? I am running no cats right now on my exhaust w/ a spintech catback. So could my exhaust be affecting the boost this much. I mean I know we need backpressure, but I shouldn't be losing that much. What would be the problem??? I checked the pulley and it is 9" in diameter. Shouldn't I be making around 14#s or so. The gauge works fine and all the lines are fine. So what would be causing this??? Heres a list of mods:

JL6# pulley
JDM Flip Chip
Boost Bypass
Airbox Mod w/KN filter

Did you take off the cats the same time you installed the pulley?

I would try to get Jim from JDM to look at your truck since he is in Texas for another week or so.

Go to one of these sites and find out where he is staying
