Seems like you are getting NO secondary boost. Start by checking to make sure the control rods are properly connected. Mine popped off just a couple of months ago. I bought a new e clip from a hardware store and had full boost within minutes.

Check the rod connections first because its one of the easiest things to check. If that is what the problem is, you can waste a lot time looking for a boost leak.
