Need help and advice

I have an APR chip, K&N Filter and a stage 2 clutch (PES), and my boost gauge is reading 10psi, am I suppose to get 15 psi or 10 ?
another question, I feel that my car is getting slower every day, what can I do to make it faster ?

only the chip attributes to psi

you should be peaking at 1.0 -1.0 bar with a non x-chip which is like 14.67 - 15psi
If your only seeing 10psi start checking for boost leaks

that would cause surge and would not really constitute for the loss in pressure i would agree that you need to check your vac lines. the bpv surging could cause increased lag and definitely make the car feel slower though i would recommend replacing it either way.
