It's normal for your boost to taper off a little at higher RPM's. But if you think that what you're experiencing is not normal then I would deffinately check for leaks.

Yes, it's completely normal. It never hurts to check for boost leaks, but there are a few ways to alleviate taper on the stock turbo, one of which is to use the Forge WGA.

Your car is jumping from 15psi to 30psi? Did you have a boost leak before? Post up a couple pictures of your install and I will see if I can help you out.
