Default Lost of boost

I purchased a Z with "Stillen supercharged" stage 3. Apparently the previous owner had a smaller pulley to get more boost because of the altitude in Denver CO. My boost was 8lbs of psi. I ordered stage 4, only replaced the fuel pump, the box, and the injector. Consequently, I went to 6lbs of psi and I didn’t change the pulley, there is no leak any where. Does anybody know why that happened?
