need a little help
Hey guy's, need a little help, 2002 auto, with gauges,Smarty on #5 from one day to the next starting to make about 4 psi less on the boost. Going down the highway was normaly 7-8 psi and about 700 F now only seems to do around 4 0r 5 psi, temperatures about the same.
Temperatures seem normal to me, maybe a little higher on accelaration, but settle right on down to normal, only 4 psi less boost.
I thought boost leak, removed and inspected all boots, only one with a little damage is pass. side from the intercooler from rubbing on the fender, however not al the way through, pipes are nice and clean,
Reassembled everything and pressuretested to 30 psi, can not find any leaks in the whole induction system, checked horn, all boots and around turbo checked with soap and water, tight as can be.
Checked wastgate, seems to operate normal, snaps shut and moves freely, opens up at 20 psi on the gauge. cant think of what to do next, thought maybe a gauge failure but it seems to do alright , wastgate opens right at 20 psi, anybody have any other suggestions??/

Thanks for the help Pete

PS no codes besides 1693 and 0620 (J hook on turbo), fuel pressure good, never below 12 psi (vulcan), truck does not seem to be low on power
