what is my problem?

ok the boost on my PFC is set at 0.85kg/cm^2
i was getting 12-5-12, now its even worse, its like
9-5-9.
i have done a silicone hose job a while back so i dont think ne thing is leaking from there. at WOT i hear air (whoosh) coming near the glove box while im driving. checked all my intercooler/intake pipes and its all tight. ne ideas where my boost is leaking from?

Check tightness of all boost clamps.
If you are still running the stock y-pipe take off the rubber coupler between the y-pipe and crossover tube. Bend sharply as though you are trying to turn it inside out and look for cracks. If cracked replace or switch to an efini y-pipe (no rubber coupler).
