First sell of the that craptastic bov and get JDM MR bov or stock IX bov.
Second, that autometer isn't known for its acuracy.
Third, what Charlie up there said. You may want check your clutch, it may be slipping.

Could also be the clutch. Mine is going, and when it "grabs," it feels slower now. Probably cause its slipping, just not noticable enough to see it in the rpms.
edit:
Whats a decent way to check gauge accuracy? Ive got a homemade boost leak tester. And I assume I can hook a tire pressure gauge up to it. Should the pressure at the turbo inlet be the same as the manifold, if there are no leaks? Would that be a decent test for the gauge. Ive also got Autometer gauges.

Hmmmm. If I roll into it, it definitely slips, and is noticable in the tac. But if I go from gear to gear, it grabs. But since Ive noticed it slipping, my car definitely doesnt pull as hard as it did, and I chalked it up to that. Just a thought, and may not have anything to do with the OP's problem.
