Default Question about a boost problem...

My car is flashed with GIAC programming. It's an 01 and has the stock mode and X-mode. Normally in X-mode i make about 16-17 psi. Recently my car is only making 10 psi. I cant seem to figure out why, and I really think that it's a problem with my turbo itself, like maybe a wastegate issue, I just find it ironic that my car is between 9-11 psi now, which is what it ran in stock mode. Is there any way it could have switched back to stock mode without me knowing? I have had it in for service, not at a dealer. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas. Thanks

Do a pressure test on the intake system.
