Default Low boost HELP!

I have a 97 z28 with a vortech v1. I just Did a base line tune on my car and I took it out to finaly kick in some boost. I punch it down and I get 1 maybe 1.5 psi. I double checked everything and i think i have it right but any ideas on what might be happening please let me know.

sounds to me like you have a boost leak somewhere. maybe a clamp came loose on one of the couplers ?

i would check all of your piping after the compressor.
