Default Boost Decrease?!?!

I am not sure but I think my boost has decraese from the day I got my car. If I can remember right, it was pushing 13lbs but it is only peaking at 10lbs and holding at 7-8lbs. I checked for any leaks but nothing was leaking. Anyone know what the stock boost is, I am pretty sure it was 13lbs but i am definitly not seeing that anymore. If I get the Stage1 upgrade does it increase the boost pressure at all? Please help, Thanks

Your peak boost with the right weather should be 14psi.

The most comon cause is a leak, tighten all the hoses on the turbo and intercooler and throttle body.

build a leak tester and actually test the car, don't just go tightening everything down or you'll end up breaking something. even better would be if you have access to a smoke machine, we just got one of these and they're awesome...so much easer to find leaks with.
