boost issue

hey guys.....so i have a question, my boost is not staying consistent with the AEM EMS, could it be my boost solenoid being messsed up, its hits 22psi then tapers down to 12 and wont reach any higher under full throttle....or could it be my electronic boost controller

P.S.
AnyONE LOOKING FOR AN AEM WIDEBAND UNIT, mine is up for SALE ON EBAY since i cant pose in the for sale yet

sounds like a major boost leak somewhere. I would start there.

BOOST LEAK!
Process of elimination. Eliminate all the little possiblities and make sure you have all the basics address. I wipe down all my pipes and hoses with acetone. Use a little aqua net for added assurance.
