Default low boost psi, wtf

Alright first, I had the boost set to 13psi, it was boosting fine, every now and then I would get a little hesitation from it, thinking that I am lacking on the fuel end of things, although still not hitting fuel cut. One day it just didnt wanna boost up to 13psi anymore, it seems to stay around 8-10psi now when I hit full boost. I swear its like the car has a mind of its own and gets an attitude with me at times. Well I have checked all of the intake piping for leaks and found nothing. I have even taken the vaccum line off of my manual boost controller and ran it like that, in this case it should run up to about 15psi and hit fuel cut, which it didnt, it stayed around 8-10psi, but it did pull pretty hard. I kinda think that I might be having problems with the gauge having a leak in the line or something and only getting about 10 psi to it. I really couldn't tell from the run I did without the line on. I think that it should have hit fuel cut with the line off, if it boosted up to 15psi, and it didnt. Has anyone had problems with the turbo only holding a lower boost than normal? Maybe going out or something? Or are there any other suggestions? Thanks a lot!
