Check for leaks in the ic plumbing. Do you have t-bolt clamps? Pressure drop is normal, but 3 psi is pretty dramatic. after checking for leaks, adjust boost controller

You probably have a boost leak, this has been discussed like 100x. You really should do a bosot test to see where the leak is exactly, however, best thing to do is get some T-bolt clamps, (hardware stores, NAPA, etc) and tighten them up hardcore.
