Default turbo wont build full boost with filter????

this is really weird, i just put on my filter and it wont build full boost. 1st 4psi 2nd 5psi 3rd 5psi then the turbo cuts out. Without the filter it builds 9psi no problems. if anyone knows why it would do this or know of any problems related to this that would be great

sounds as if your filter is far too restrictive, can you give us more details on the turbo and filter type/size/age/condition?
