Default HELP! Boost is suddenly falling off. . .

if I make like 2 pulls at full boost or just drive around the highway. I will just floor it and it will build boost all the way till about 6k rpms then its like my turbo gets hit by a 18 wheeler, it just stops. It is fine before 6k. My setup is GReddy turbo, GReddy E-Manage, 370cc inj., Profec B, 2.5' DP. I havent heard any detonation, but then again I havent done a comp. test in about a month. What could it be! ?

I'm using the same walbro pump that comes w/ the jackson racing supercharger kit for the 5gen preludes, the boost is normally set at 9psi, I'm pretty sure the charge pipe is still connected b/c I'm still building boost at lower rpms. This usually happens in 3rd or 4th I cant remember if its ever happend in 2nd. I have been running hella rich, as I am blowing black smoke out at WOT. . . if that helps any. . . and I have a 2000 Si.
