Craig,
You should see more than 7 PSI boost - you should see about 9 PSI.
This could easily equate for the power loss.
I think the issue could well be cam timing.
Your car has an extremeley poor idle, possibly caused by lack of manifold vacuum / too much cam overlap. I mentioned this to you when you collected the car
With too much overlap, some of the boost will go straight down the exhaust, rather than pressurize the combustion chamber and inlet plenum, hence the low reading on the dyno's boost gauge.
It's definitely worth checking and tweaking the cam timimg on the dyno
The problem won't be the intercooler - plenty are using the Forge intercooler and getting 240-260 BHP which is the target power for the conversion.
Also check what size the restrictor is before the supercharger - let me know what it is.
Regards,
Rich.
