New pump - no power

Hey Guys ~
Replaced my lift pump (Glacier) and VP44 (MWFI) at 170K +...
(lift pump went south - then the VP44 (yes - I'm installing lift pressure gage))

Started right up - chased a fuel leak - and it looked like I had a going rig again. On the test drive, the boost only went to 4# and the acceleration confirmed low boost. Any idea what happened. Also, the turbo doesn’t have the whine it had before when asking for power; I know its turning ‘cause I can hear it spool down when I shift. The truck sat for over a year before I fixed it.

are you sure the woodruf key is in the pump shaft right? fuel filter not plugged? I would go over everything again.

Rebal - went back together fine, but will check 'cause we're pulling the pump out again due to the fuel leak. New filters. Whatever is going on is leaving the Edge EZ out of the picture also.
