Get a boost gauge.
Do a boost test and check your boost pattern.
If it's not 10-8-10 then have a look at this: http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-...leshooting.htm

Yes, it is. It sounds like you have a boost leak. I've got a big boost leak myself. I'm only hitting 5-7 psi, when i'm supposed to be hitting 12. My problem is the plastic y-pipe connecter "thing." I'm waiting for my ups package for a efini y-pipe. It was supposed to be delivered 2 days ago.

my friend has had the exact symptoms with his silvia (dropped in sr20). turned out to be a SMALL boost leak. Even the smallest of boost leaks can lead to big problems. def check out the y pipe connector, common spot for boost leaks.
