Default loss of boost

ok so my truck was runnin close 2 40psi of boost i could hit 30 like it was nothin on the highway. now im barely hitting 25psi all of a sudden. ive taken a quick look to see if the intercooler boots have blown off. all of them are on and it does not look like they r cracked or leaking. when i get into it i dont hear any hissing or anything like theres a leak. its just building up like b4. ran a scanner on it and it is not throwing any codes. now if the boots are fine like i think they are then wat else could it be? i dont think my turbo has taken a crap yet. im wondering if the waste gate is just hanging open and not allowing it to build up. but like i said i dont hear any leaking noises. and i know its not my gauge going bad bc the truck has noticably less power. im runnin the edge comp box so that should b the boost fooler enless for some reason that is acting up and is not fooling the comp and allowing it to go over 25psi? any1 have any ideas? and btw fuel pressure is sitting between 16 and 17psi. so fuel is not an issue. thanks

fill in your signature so we have a better idea of what you are running. could it be a map sensor? maybe? what level are you running the comp box on?

i gota figure out how 2 do that 1st. well i have a fass fuel system, 4in turbo back exhaust straight pipe, afe stage 2 cold air intake, afe intake elbow, edge comp box, silencing ring off turbo, gauges off course. now i was messing around with the edge box wires unpluggin and plugging back in and so forth and it worked again but like 20 mins later started cutting in and out again. i feel like its hit and miss wit it now. last night on the highway i noticed there is no diff in performance between level 1 and 5. so i called edge up and they want it all back 2 take a look at it and give me a new 1. so im hoping it is the just the box and not something else?
