Ok guys, i have a problem with my boost. One day it seemed sluggish and i noticed that my boost was not getting above 0. I checked the hoses and they were in bad need of being replaced. Took care of that and it seemed a little better over the last couple days but its still only reaching 5-7 on the gauge and still not performing at the level it should. I can usually fix the problem myself IF i figure out what it is. No check engine light and no codes. It is a stock 05 cobalt SS SC. Any ideas the logical place to start? Laymans terms please.... after all.... i am just a girl.

 

Check to make sure that the rod for the sc bypass valve isnt broken/disonnected. Maybe somehow your s/c bypass valve is stuck open.
