Boost leak? Turbo dead?

Hey guys im having boost issues or atleast that appears to be the problem.About a week ago i noticed my boost was down alot and my egts were high . I figured a boost leak. My hose from the turbo to intercooler looks like its in rough shape but i cant see or feel and leaks. I checked my airfilter and intake and everythings clean and tight. Should i replace the hose and look for improvment? or should i check my turbo too? i was seeing 20psi of boost lastweek when it started and now im seeing 10 -13psi. It takes forever to get the turbo to spool which worries me. Any help would be appreciated. I cant drive it anymore the way it is. EGts get to 1200 and 1300 too quick. TIA

Did you spray all the boots with soapy water or leak detector soap?

Check the turbo for excessive end play?
