Belt slip? Boost leak?

Do you have T-bolt clamps at your aftercooler connections?

+1 for belt slip. I always ask this question, what does your boost plot look like?

Wait, 3.4 pulley on a vortech, 8-9 psi sounds about right?

Belt slip is very obvious when looking at a plot of your boost. Did you observe this happening on a dyno? Or just by looking at your boost gauge in the car? If on a dyno, can you get the graphs from your tuner showing the boost curve?
