Low Boost Psi

Was watching my boost psi in the data logs and I’m not even getting 6 psi I’m on stage 2 + MHD and I’m pretty sure I used to get up to 18.2 and I’m talking about max rpm’s full boost idk how I’m getting 6 any recommendations what I should double check. Could it be my wastegates one of them feel easy to push in while the other feels like it holds the pressure much better new turbos?

Fast work! Yeah i'd be visiting that link and going over vacuum lines connnections and Intercooler pipes, Charge pipe connection, Blow off valve etc.

With the vacuum lines usually around the oil filter housing is where the hoses perish.

Major boost leak or your waste gates/turbos could be shot. Could be boost solenoids too but I think more likely boost leak or worn turbo hardware. How many miles on the turbos?

195k they are the originals. They are well over due. I want to go single turbo might just have it sit until I get one
