Default Lost boost...

Since a couple months ago, I noticed that my car is feeling a bit more sluggish. Added an accurate boost gauge and it showed me I was getting about 4 psi. Over the past couple months, that's slowly dropped to 2-3, then 1-2, and now 0psi. Car feels a bit more sluggish, but not as significantly as I would've expected.

So I just tested my boost gauge from the vac tee and it's working quite accurately.

What should I start testing here? It could be a vacuum leak, but could it also be the BPV? I doubt that turbos gradually drop off in power like this. Car has 135k miles.

-Neil.

Vac level has been the same before and after, but yes I need to test w/positive pressure.
