Fuel pressure hasn't much to do with low boost. If the fuel pressure is low enough to affect boost you'll know it by how crumby the engine is running overall.
More than likely there is a boost leak somewhere.
Cruising egts don't really tell much either because to many factors can affect them. What are the egts at 22 lbs boost? If egts are normal at that boost level, then the waste gate can be stuck open, there's a problem with your boost guage, or it's perhaps not getting enough fuel. If the egts are high, you've got a leak.

well, if i have it hammered and its at 22psi of boost, my egt is between 1000-1100, depending on if im going into a head wind or wind at my back.
