Angry I thought I had it beat.....

Ok, here it is. In the winter time I changed to silicone vacuum lines and installed a boost gauge. Then when spring hit, I drove the car and found I was only boosting 7lbs. So I searched the forum to find I threw out the restrictor pills for the wastegate and turbo precontrol. So I stuck in some Holley jets and bang!.. 10-5-10 boost pattern( to much jet in the precontrol). Now after driving my car a bit, my boost has gone down to about 8-3-7. Why would it just change like that? Do you think I have a leak somewhere? That is the other thing.... I can really here a leak from what I think is the CRV, but should I be able to hear it easily? The leaky sound dissapears at 4500, right where it should if it is the CRV. Please help... and yes I searched... Thanks.

I'm thinking boost leak or clogged cat, as you have lost boost at all rpms.

When mine went it was fairly obvious. It was full of loose, rusty junk and it rattled. New downpipe and high flow cat and boost returned.
