boost leak? 2.4/sc

just wondering if i'm on a 3." pulley which is supposed to put me at 10psi which it has been pushing and now all of a sudden im pushing 5psi or 2.5psi and my WOT AFR went from 11.7-11.8 (10psi) down to 11.0(2.5-5psi) would this be a boost leak? the car runs perfectly fine otherwise but is more sluggish then usual obviously since im only pushing half the psi.

ya i have dual pass and it is not fixed, i fixed a slipping belt which i though was the cause but just drove it to class and now im pushing maybe 1 psi. and still running 10.9-11.0 rich at WOT.

i also have a CEL now for a P0121 code which is for the TPS. the TPS is on the TB correct? if it is this could be my problem, possibly a bad connection because i had to solder the new sensor on.

lesson of the day: don't cap the bottom excerpt on the little canister thing thats attached to the side of the SC thats ment to work as a boost controller. it'll control the boost alright.

WOW....

it;s the silver cylinder looking thing attached to the SC on the engine side down towards the TB. it should have a hose connecting it to the SC and then another nipple excerpt below it LEAVE IT UNCAPPED it's for a boost controller.

what pulley you on, 2.8?
