You can't figure out where?
Not sure how you can not figure out where...did you do a boost leak test with a bottle of soapy water? That does miracles

Did the test can't see any bubbles. I've got 62k miles. Only maxing 16psi-17psi in 1st-3rd gear and 18psi in 4th gear then back down to 16psi in 5th gear. Maybe the clutch is going out?

Is your car equipped with a boost controller? If so, then why not turn up the boost?
