Do you have a section at the top of travel on your boost gage marked yellow and/or red? What reading does the yellow start at? How far away from yellow are you getting at wide open throttle (WOT)?

17.5? Hmm, a boost gauge should be -10 to +10. That should put you about +7.5 and that'* about right for a stock engine.

Holy smokes. Mark this day on your calendar as the first (and probably the last) time 2KG4U knew something Danthurs didn't. I didn't question his readings because I know what they are. Canadian car, metric readings. Same as mine.

17.5 pascals is 0 psi, which is normal atmospheric pressure. You aren't getting any boost off your supercharger. That'* why your car is so slow. Read these:

Shouldn't be too hard to fix. We can walk you through it.
