Oh if that is the case it should be one of the new ones.
If you crank it up on 8 and you are not getting the car laying down, something is not working right.
I would talk to them or go through the testing I have listed above.
If you are running a decent amount of boost 8-10 lbs, with the controller on 8 you should be seeing a green light.

Yes you might have something wrong.
Like I said, it is not too hard to check, it will require a bit of work, but not too bad.
I do so many of them I have a harness and test rig setup with a gage so I can check them pretty quickly.

My pump is only a few months old. I honestly dont think there is anything wrong with mine since the dial is on such a low value.
I will test it out when I get the interior back together

Just replaced mine !! It seems the area that most use to mount this unit (driver side inner fender /mounted to the frame ) is directly below three udders that dump cowl water right on top of the pump
Granted the pump is sealed and the top screws & wiring grommet have a sealant around them, but the sealant fails over time and water gets inside and farks it all up . Remove one or both of the long screws that hold the pump together (screws at the top where the main wiring harness comes out ) if they are rusty/rusted , the pump is not re-buildable ( fro Julio himself ) and is garbage !!! Ask me how i know 
Anyway Julio is in the process of making a (raincoat )for the pumpMy new pump got a heavy dose of sealant on top of the screws (you can't even see em ) and around the harness where it leaves the body then the top half got a condom made of heavy plastic and taped off 
I'm in line for one of Julios raincoats but i'm sure this will keep it dry until then 
Hope this helps you
