Bog during boost
Hi guys, need a little help. I am also posting this in the FI section.
I have a Vortech supercharger on a C6 with LG headers and running about 6psi boost with a 4.5 in pulley so the car is pretty safe putting down about 500rwhp.
The problem I am noticing sometimes is when I am in 2nd or 3 gear (A6) and into boost, the car will pull hard for a while and then all of a sudden, it will bog.
It used to happen once in a while but now it is happening more often.
Can someone tell me what to look for? At first I thought I was over rev the engine and hit the rev limiter but I noticed I was only at 5800-6000rpm when it happened last time.
It also happens a lot when I get into boost but then back off. Is this normal to bog when I back off while in boost?
I am going to get my tuner to look at his tune (HP) but he is under the weather right now.
Thanks for any help.

I don't think the belt is slipping because I am getting 6.3-7psi boost which is normal for my car however I will do what you suggested and check it out. Thanks
