Default Car isn't making boost anymore...

To get my setup, do a search under my name....changed the transmission fluid last night, and took the car out. Driving home, the car started boosting less and less...untill now, inwhich it doesn't boost at all. i can hear the turbo spool, the bov goes off, but i only hit like +.02 bar...i put a MBC on it, and tried to turn it up..to no avail..So i checked all of my vaccum lines and my couplers, all seem well. Car still doesn't make boost at all. i had some exhuast leaks from loose manifold bolts, tightened those up asap, and stillm no boost.

What do you guys think?

mines is external. it was working fine the other day. I just install a mbc yesterday and didn't try to boost until today and it wouldn't go past zero. I checked the charge pipes and everything looks ok.

this is off topic but please do not ask question and have the people helping you do the search. you could've atleast added a link to your full set up or copy and pasted it on your thread...
