Default turbo runnung blues

I have the edelbrock kit on my Y8 and everything's been awesome. I'm running 9psi and it pulls hard as fawk all the way to redline. Well this morning I get out to car and drive off. once I hit boost feels normal until high boost. It's not pulling hard at all anymore. All of a sudden. It just feels weak. Any suggestions?

Make sure you dont have a leak or anything in the charge pipe.. You also might want to do a compression test..

Maybe you're just used to it. But yeah, I'd do a compression test to make sure nothing is fawked up.
