Please help me diagnose my problem!
Ok, my car has the A&A vortech kit on it, 3.6" pulley, longtube headers, stock valvesprings and I just installed alkycontrol's meth kit. I did have to remove the upper supercharger pipes to install the meth kit.
While driving today, my car only makes around 3 lbs of boost max, the ac blows warm on both sides, and at one point the steering was very very difficult to turn, and a "service vehicle soon" message was displayed for 5 seconds. Also, my belt has been squeeaking by the alternator pulley for the last 1.5 weeks
No current codes except for 2 ac codes.
Please help! I appreciate all suggestions!

The AC runs on a separate belt, so I'm not visualizing how the 2 would be related. So it may well be a coincidence. As far as the boost goes, my guess is that something didn't get tightened when you reassembled things. The squeaky belt could just be a warn belt or it could be slipping (which could also be your boost problem). I'd probably get a replacement belt and invest in a Katech tensioner to make sure it stays tight.
