The smarty is always loaded and the tst comp has been on different levels. I tried level 7 today and still 35 lbs. I used to see 45 with just the smarty and the needle would shake violently around 47 with the tst on.

Short of Having a boost leak. Get that your head latched on and give it some more fuel.
