Default not holding boost

so went to my local wednesday night tracks last night.... 15.1 at 92...14.9 at 94....14.7 at 93 with a bad bog... not traction all 3 runs..question is do you guys think with stock piping its making me not hold boost? ill hit 10 psi and drop to 8 and hold. im just hoping its not because i have a leak some where. all new boots with t bolt clamps.

one of my buddies pointed out what looks to be a leak right in the middle of my intercooler. seems like an internal leak cause there are no dents from depire just looks like some one took a bottle of spray paint and sprayed it black... from dark in the middle to lighter on the edges... of course not as black as paint but exhaust films.... any input would be great...

Are you using a boost controller at all? If you're just using a wastegate it's typical for them to spike about 2psi. and drop and hold steady after it vents and levels out.
