seeing about 5 psi at 4500rpm only sometimes

As the title states sometimes when i take my car out and boost it once i hit 4500 rpm the boost goes for 10 psi to 5 psi. Other times it boosts just fine. I've been reading up on what it could be but what I dont understand is why it only happens sometimes.

Dennis,
Yep if you can get full secondary boost with a quick lift and stab on the gas then you probably have a bad check valve going to the pressure tank or vac tank.
