boost leak?

Yesterday on my way to work, I decided to set my boost to 25lbs. I did a wot run and it didnt go past 20lbs and then it dropped to about 10lbs, does anybody know the possible cause of this?

Check all your couplers make sure they are tight and get a boost leak and vaccum leak test. I had the same problem and even though my couplers were tight the couplers themselves were shot

You could have a rip or tear in the couplers. I fabricated a custom pressure testing tool to check the IC piping for leaks. I TIG welded my tool from aluminum pipe, but you can probably fab up something similar with some PVC pipe from Home Depot.
