Possibly bumped the hot/coldside pipes?! Honestly, just perform a boost leak test.

It would help to know if you have a sc or tc. If its an sc maybe your belt is slipping

Any funky sounds on acceleration? Is the belt routed the right way? Tightened enough?

I was thinking the same thing. Is the SC pulley spinning?

Did you install the belt 100% correctly? Maybe you routed it wrong somewhere
