Default Del Sol just stoped boosting

ok, so i was just going to blockbuster to return some late movies and on the way home i thought i would just get alittle boost out before the night was over. while i was boosting i slowed down and started driving normal. well all of a sudden i realized i wasnt getting as much power as i normaly drive so i pulled over and poped the hood to see if some of my piping came loose. all of it was connected and i noticed while i was driving that it seems like it wants to boost but it wont. could it be my map sensor? i had a 3bar in but i was using the stock one because a buddy just turboed his car. i have pushed 15psi the stock map sensor but i think i was close to 10. idk what the problem is with it now? what should i do?

did you piece the kit together yourself?

Is it tuned?
Use quality parts or ebay?


Do you have any mechanical know-how? (not intended as insult, but for general knowledge)

What kind of scenario are we talking? i.e... Built b heavy boost/ stock d block with baby snail?

yea i did it myself and yea its tuned correctly, ive had this turbo on for months now and all of a sudden it just went out. i honestly think that it is the map sensor cuz i didnt have a Valve under the sensor or the normal sensor that i used, it was just a stock del sol map sensor
