Full Non-seq, cant hold boost

Hello all, i recently changed out my high flow cat for a 3inch midpipe, and converted my poor-mans non seq mod to the full non seq mod, The car intially boost to whatever it is set at 10 12 15 etc, but in almost every gear by the time i get to 6000rpm the boost has tappered off to 6-7pounds, is the boost leaking out somewhere? or are my turbo's getting tired? all opinions are welcome, thanx in advance

it could be going into limp mode or BOV is leaking, did you change the spring to a type r spring in the BOV.

But what do I know I'm probably wrong but it's something you can check, I'm just guessing

naw the spring in the bov is the regular type s spring, iam not boosting that much, only 14-15pounds max is that to much for the type-s to handle? also, if the car was in limp mode would i be able to make 10 12 pounds of boost? because i can make the 15pounds but it only holds for 2-3seconds before it tappers off to 6-7

naw, i ordered block off plates but they arent here yet, so we kept some of the stock hardware in place, until the plates come, do you think that is the problem? should i be worrying about the turbo's?
