Low Boost!

I posted this in the high performance thread and didn't get much response, but anyways I never ever get over 15 lbs boost with a BDDL power pup and quadzilla box...i am sure something is haywire...don't have near the power i think i should and don't make hardly any smoke...what are some of the possible problems??

Any input would be awesome thanks in advance.

Check all the boots to make sure they are tight, not ripped etc.

I just noticed another symptom this afternoon. It appears that I am barking the turbo way too easily. This afternoon I was accelerating at about 1/4 throttle from a stop sign when the car infront of me slowed up really hard. I left off the throttle quickly to apply the brake and my turbo popped or bark. I did the same thing again accelerated not really hard but with about 1/4 throttle and let off and it did it again. I thought that I would probably only bark the turbo if i let off rapidly under hard acceleration. Is what I am experiencing normal? I am wondering if all of this stuff is related... maybe possibly having turbo problems, but if that was entirely the case I would think I would be blowing alot of smoke ( which I think I am not blowing enough smoke)

Thanks guys just trying to figure this thing out!!!

when was the last time you changed the fuel filter? no fuel will equal no boost. after checking the intake boots, change the filter.
