Well i was driving yesterday and you know how us boosted guys tend to have a heavy foot so i slammed the pedal and when my car went tot he high Rpm'* there was sputtering coming form the supercharger. Is it because i need a new belt or could it be from the something else. If i raise the rpm slowly i dont have this problem, but i just gun it then it feels like the belt is loosing grip and i barely go anywhere.

You need to check your fuel pressure, and tell us how long it'* been since a full tuneup.

I've found out that it does the sputtering after going over 5psi. The boost gauge was going normal.

Ok...

What does your belt for the SC look like and do you see any belt dust on the SC snout and in front/behind the belt path areas?

New clue. i drove it around town and i slammed the gas so its at 3500 rpm and the boost is at 8.5 psi and i held it there for 5-7 seconds. The speed was going up very very slowly and when i let go of the gas SPARKS flew out of the back of the car!
