the 13 reading at idle is normal if using a data logger, thats barametric pressure witch would be 14.7 psi at sea level witch for a normal psi gauge, would read 0 psi, what ever your reading at idle or engine off with a data logger, subtract that number from your total boost pressure, and you will have actual pressure.... so u have 40 psi total, minus your 13 at idle, means you have 27 psi actual boost pressure, witch is normal, so doubtfull you have a boost leak, but still worth checking in to
check codes, air and fuel filters, if nothing pops up, need to look into the fuel system pressure, witch could be the FCA, lift pump, rail pressure sensor, rail pressure relief valve, or the injectors
