problem

I know this is a commmon question and I have done searches. But still cant figure this out. The rex only boost to 5 psi. I have heard people say the throttle plates but how can you test it? There are not any loose vacum hoses or cracked couplers. BOVs are good along with the acuator. So what gives. Suggestion please.

Check the IC tubes, they tend to bust and leak out the other 5psi...
