help!! whered the boost go??

ok here is the deal i got my power fc, and i got it put in, i got my apexi rx6 turbo kit, and everything was goin good. i was boostin 15 psi quite nicely and one day sumthin happend. i was drivin and all the sudden my open exhaust got reallll quiet, and so i eased on the gas and could hear a stream of air sumwhere, so i let off, and heard like two little puffs of air, and so i did a 3rd gear pull and i hit like 3 psi. now i was thinkin oh my bov is goin nutty on me
but its not, or i dont think it is, no boost is commin out when this is happenin i checked so then all the sudden as it started it stopped after idling for awhile so i took it out and did another 3rd gear pull, it hit 7 psi and settled down at 5 psi, and the exhaust sound was normal, so whut happend where is my 15 psi :confused

Have you checked all your IC piping to make sure you don't have a boost leak?

may be a hose connector blew open... if cooled down, the opening becomes smaller, but after boosting, the gap opens up again. you can find out by presurising the system... listen to the leak.
