What is ur elevation? When Ive been up in the mountains 6000 ft or so I saw a little less boost. With a 6 lower u should see 13 or so.

Did this just start? If so remove the top vacuum line on the boost actuator and plug it, then go for a short drive and see how much boost it makes. This will tell you if the actuator is bad. If it's been ongoing then you will need larger lower pulley.

I'm at 6,000' also. With a 5# lower and a 2.77" upper I'm making 12 to 13 pounds boost. I made 6 to 7 pounds stock.

Somethings not right to be making that little boost. Have you checked it with another gauge? Could be just reading wrong.
