Turbo problem?

I was doing some sprinted runs, never WOT. But held boost @ 30 psi 5 times? ASD light lit up. Car was normal the rest of the night until I turned off the car. Next day started it up with it weak.

All AMS O2 parts
Hallman MBC
Down pipe
ETS exhaust
Some AM Injectors



Before:
Held boost @ 30 psi max
Idle 14.7 - 15.0
AFR shoots up to 15.0-16.0 on gas
Turbo whirls normally
Strong pull throughout
Crappy MPG

Now:
Holds boost @ 15 psi max slowly loses psi
Idle 14.7 - 15.5
AFR drops to 11.0 - 13.0 on gas
No Turbo whirl, I can hear BoV and vacuum still
Strong low end pull, weak high end pull
Amazing MPG

Help!

If there's a leak I can't find it, I should just soapy water every thing?

Not sure with the numbers, preivous owner didn't leave me the charts. Going to get a retune soon

For now yes, dropped mbc and picked up grim 3 speed. But I lost 20 whp.. went from 350 -> 330 whp. I definitely prefer having safe boost though. Now if I can fix my occasional erratic idle issue..

e85 is readily available here, I'm looking into getting an e85 tune and freely switching between the maps with cobb ap.

e85 $2.59/g
93 is $2.70/g - $3.00/g (shell)
