Default engine won't pull ???

Running the car earlier and is set to boost to 10psi.

running about earlier, hits boost fine etc.. then all of a sudden the car seems to not pull.. Fuel is ok.. so roll down the road to the petrol station to double check..

Chuck fuel in and still doing this..

The car will boost to 5psi fine.. but as soon as it hits 10, it goes flat.

Any ideas?
