Default Lower boost issue...
Took the car out tonite and noticed that boost peaked and stayed at 12psi... Usually hits 16 all day long. Car feels a little sluggish at 12 psi and seems like it's being held back.

No turbo noise...
No smoke...
Any suggestions...?

As long as your software hasn't changed it has to be a boost leak

As others have said, pressure test first. I'd put money on a boost leak :-)
