    I also may have a different set up when it comes to my pulleys, at the time of the build the only idler pulleys and top half of the pulley set up by the coil bracket I had access to was off a supercharged Regal I believe. I'm not sure if that makes much of a difference, because I don't know the specs the car is running on around 10-12 lbs of boost

    Regal and GP are identical for pullies. The items being mentioned are all possibile. Sounds like you haven't scanned to monitor KR.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

The PCM I called them for and talked them through the whole process to make sure it was exactly what I needed, I just recieved it yesterday hoping it would solve the problem, it made the car run way better but it hasn't solved my boost problem.
    Given its running BETTER with the tune... jump up to a 3.4 pulley & get some header immediately... make sure its got a 3" downpipe... your prolly getting too much backpressure for the boost your pushing and i personally think your lucky you dont have a blown head gasket already, or worse
