I believe the paxton has a different setup gear wise, so a different pulley will yeild different results.
That seems to be the case. All the paxton guys seem to be running really small pulleys for their boost levels.

yea but the way i look at it is ten pounds of boost is 10 lbs. As long as you can get it you'll be ok.

You're right it doesn't matter it's just something to take note of. The only reason it would see it as a down fall is the belt slippage issue that you seem to be having. Other then that it doesn't really matter.

I would imagine that having the 1000 makes a difference too, instead of a 2000. A 2000 shouldn't be using the smaller pulleys, they are capable of LOTS of boost.

I could have gone with a 2000 on my MPH kit for another few hundred bucks, and I wish I had for the future. Its going to hurt buying that T trim down the road.

I'll more than likely buy a PP from mph and see if they can weld me a bung for use with the mini race.

If I end up making too much boost I'll just have to take it easy and possibly set the limiter at 5500 or so. Couple people I've talked to see 11psi with a 3.1, IC and PP.
