Also, what your reading boost on? Actual gauge or a tuner/display that uses MAP data...

RA is correct, list your mods... However when my MAP started to die it said similar things for boost in my Adrenaline w/ Pulse... 3psi on freeway 22psi max...

With those mods you should be making more then 18psi at WOT. I would be checking all hose clamps on the boost tube connectors for sure.

Maybe the boost fooling has stopped working on the Comp.

I would start with boots on intercooler piping. Then check intercooler. Does your turbo have a wastegate? If so is it working properly? Make sure its not stuck.

I checked the boots and sprayed them with soapy water while the engine was running for leaks saw none if i disconnected the intercooler from the intake manifold and covered it engine at idle how long b4 it should have enough pressure to where i cant hold it there any longer

Have a look at this, it is much easier to test.
