Default Supercharger

I have a 2016 Z06. I haven't had it out for awhile but yesterday I took it for a spin. In N..Dakota we have some desolate roads with little or no traffic, so I love the feel of my supercharger especially at high speeds, I got ,to one of the desolate roads and stepped on it. It got to 122 mph. but I didn't feel the normal surge I was used to so at around 60mph I stood on the gas pedal to the floor and 125 mph that's it, my boost went to the little icon and stayed there, I tried starting at a dead stop. same thing boost at the Icon and 125 mph. There has to be something wrong any ideas. I'm desperate. I miss the power and supercharger surge . Any ideas or thoughts? Where should the boost gage be, I'm sure I have had it past the icon for boost pressure. Help

Check your intake between the throttle body and airbox and make sure nothing is loose or and gaps exist where the couplers meet.
Then make sure all of the vacuum lines are on/secured to the TB & SC bypass.
