A boost leak that will only allow 5-7psi is going to be small. You're better off doing a boost leak test than just pulling at couplers blindly.

1.You should try making a boost leak tester, I made one for a couple bucks...sounds like you may have a tiny leak...

2.check your wastegate vacum sources, and make sure its opening properly

3.also are you running a boost controller?
