just got my swap running(sr20 into s13)..ran fine at first then it starting not making power when the turbo spools. I hooked a boost gauge up it's running 8lbs but it's like the pressure isn't making power. Light driving without letting the turbo spool and at idle it runs fine..anyone have some insight on what the problem might be?

Boost leak, check compression, check turbo condition, search.
