Default why is my car getting slower?

since i put a .50 trim t3/t4 on the car i was getting boost at 1800-2000 rpm and full boost by 3600-4000 rpm depending on which gear i was in. now in low gears im getting boost at 2200 rpm and full boost around 4500-5000 rpm and i cant figure out why. i thought it might be a boost leak but i cant find one. if anyone has any suggestions it would really help me out.

check your bov to see if it's closed all the way, also check you wg. If either of those have a leak it will cause you to build boost later....check your charge pipe connections also
