boost problems ???

I used to be able to hit 40-42 psi, but lately 32 is the best i can get most the time. I can still get the occasional spike at 42 but it wont hold and jumps back down to 32. The only thing i've changed, is I took off the boost fooler and added an mp-8. I checked all the boots and they where tight. I still need to check the horn, and i do have the plastic tanks on my IC. Boost seems normal under normal driving. Where should i start, could there be a small leak in the IC that only opens under pressure? Also, the turbo seems to be a little louder, but i might just be paranoid.

Thanx

I would start with your intercooler. This is coming from first hand experience. see if you can put something together to get your IC under pressure. Then if you cannot hear or see the leak you can use soapy water to try and find the leak. If you rule that out then you can move onto the rest of the system. Just load the rest and use the soapy water to find your leak. Best of Luck!
