Boost problem

Hey guys, ive been having a weird boost issue, it could be a boost leak im not 100% sure, im suppose to be at 24-26psi of boost, lately im only getting to 14-15psi, ive checked all my vacuum hoses, i even at one point thought it was my 3 port boost controller, i had that replaced and noting. I checked my turbo piping and all seems to be well installed, i dont hear any leaks or any weird sounds, im totally lost on what to do, ive looked everywhere, i dont have access to the right tools to do a boost leak test, so what do you guys suggest? or where have you guys found common boost leaks? My car feels really sluggish, help guys

Go to a local shop and have them run a boost leak test. either that or start re-tightening everything on the car to try and find it.

The best way is a boost leak test. If you dont have access to a compressor, i would suggest pulling off and going over all vacuum hoses and IC piping. Ensure you are using t-bolt clamps since you are running that much boost.

Recently I had a somewhat similar issue. My problem turned out to be a sticking waste gate. Couldnt hurt to check.
