Exclamation Help!! Boost leak maybe - stock

i was driving back from work and doing a little spirited driving and all of a sudden the car didnt pull. I tried several times and the car felt alot weaker from before. My car is completely stock with about 10k miles on it. The next day i drove the car hard again and it didnt pull as hard as it did.

well... im thinking it might be a boost leak somewhere, maybe the stock bov/diverter is leaking(heard it was pretty weak and leaks pretty bad).

what do u guys think it might be, all info is appreciated, thank you

Get yourself a boost gauge and watch to see if your boost is building or falling off fast.Then you will be able to tell if its your bov.
