missing boost

So I was driving around today and io noticed when I got on it 2nd and 3rd gear it was only boost 15 psi and in 4th it would read 17, could this have to do with gas ot could it be a slighjt leak? Thanks

Could be a lot of things. You need to go do roll-ons from 2000rpm in each gear to see where the boost spikes. Report back and let me know. Hold full throttle from 2000-7000rpm while observing boost as best you can...

Ok, then there is a problem it seems. What boost levels were you seeing before today? A leak wouldn't really cause lower peak numbers, and humidity certainly wouldn't.
