Loss of boost!

The other day while i was driving my serpentine belt snapped, i found out this was because two of the screws that hold the pulley on had come loose, just for ***** and giggles while getting more screws i ordered a new coupler and bearings for the m-62. I rebuild the supercharger put new oil in it and i took it out for a ride and im only making half the pressure i used to, i used to peak at around 21ish now it peaks at 14 and creeps to 16 max, i went through the internals again today and still no fix, any ideas? Btw this is my first post on this forum, i usually just creep around haha

dude with a 2.8 pulley u should be seing a max of 17.5-18 psi's thats what i see on my on my current setup with a high flow exhaust its gonna take longer to see 18 psi due to the gases moving quickly and freely, i did however see my psi's jumping to over 20 psi's on a clogged cat. convertor thou....

Have you done any exhaust work recently?

Why would you want 21 psi on the m62 with a 2.8? That's asking for it
