Bypass Valve possibly.

You need to do some more diagnostics because "only getting 4 psi" is kind of vague.

Are you modified or stock?

Being that your supercharger spins at the same speed every time, I'm more inclined that it's a bypass valve issue or you have a leak in other locations.

Take it to your dealer.

pop the hood...start the engine...have somebody rev and you check for leaks...listen for hissing, or use a spray bottle full of mild soapy water and spray it on the hoses....if it bubbles or if you hear it...then problem solved...

or if it is the diaphragm inside then you should hear it just dumping air....
