for the last 3-4 days i noticed under boost that I was only getting 4-5 lbs of boost where i normally get 7 or close to 8. Normally I would get 8 in 4th gear now It peaks to 5 and slowly drops to 2psi. At first I was thinking ok boost leak and pretty much checked everything a million times over. Zipped tiped like every vaccum line down as well still didn't fix the problem. It was then I realized that my gas pedal had fallen off a few days ago and The pin holding it in had broke so i made my own. However now when its pressed to the floor it doesn't go all the way that it can. IF I really mash the pedal all the way as hard as i can it works perfect now and im getting the boost im sopuses to. So to make things simple is there away to adjust the gas pedal?? I think there was a page in the tsrm showing how to but I searched it and can't seem to find it. any help plz?

IDK about a "throttle peddal adjustment" but I'd check your throttle body/cruise control apparatus. since their are a few cables in that area see if one is loose. Ive got a parts car with the dash out and i will check if there is any adjustments that can be made when i get home later.
