Novi 1000 low boost
Need some advice about my comptech setup if any of you guys have had simialar experiences. I'm running a novi 1000 with a 3 in pulley and a fmic that was included when I bought the kit used. Was hitting 10-11 psi back in april but I just checked my datalogs from my trackday yesterday and was only hitting 8 peak. Its not belt slip as I recently put on a new gatorback belt and adjusted the tension before heading to the track. Checked all my intercooler piping and its tight. In thinking either the blowers on it's way out(overspinning it with the 3 in pulley) or the summer heat is lowering the boost. Anybody else seen lower psi during the summer?

Dirty air filter can also cause boost drop. I thought i had a problem with belt slip on my HKS kit as it tailed off at the top of the rev range. Fitted new air filter and i got 2psi back.
In my experience if you do suffer belt slip you wont hear it, its normally silent and only real way to see if it is slipping is to really crank the tension on.

My air filter is fairly new too. Looking at the logs the bosst is low throughout the powerband not just at high rpms which would indicate slipping. Im aware of new belt stretching often and check the tension quite often.
