i think its a boost leak.

Allright, here we go.

So the other day i was in 3rd gear and wanted to check the boost pattern because i noticed it had only been running 10 psi max and seemed to be a 5psi transition.

about 3k rpm in 3rd gear i floor it. Slowly boosts then i hear a wooshing noise like a bov, only nowhere near as high pitched. At that moment my boost stops raising, then the noise goes away and it finishes rising to the 10 psi. From then on up i ran a 10-7-7 pattern.

So im 99% sure i have a boost leak somewhere, but where do i start looking. And also, could that be whyh im only getting a 10-7-7 pattern when i used to get a 14-12-14 pattern. I thought the change was because it is so much hotter out than it was previously. Thanks in advance.
