Huh? Boost is controlled by the tune and no, my X is almost always in boost. 5-6 psi for cal spec and I think 10psi for the hi-po.

How did you determine that thereis not enough boost??
How much boost are you seeing? what kit, Hi-Po or Cali?

On a supercharger the boost is actually controlled by the size of the pulley that is being spun.

exactly, at least with the xcharger setup (i believe the cobalt ss/sc limits boost in 1st gear somehow)

Check the bypass valve maybe something is hanging it up.
Can you replicate the problem or does it come and go?
Describe the situation when it happened last... (the event)
