It could easily be a leak that you cant see. Do the pressure test and let us know what happens.

possibly a bad n75 valve... could be really anything. Definitely check for the boost leaks. Do you have a fmic?

ya im doing a pressure test this week and was told by giac that its not normal for the pressure to drop at all. it should be 15psi all through the rpm range. im gonna see how the pressure test goes this week.

The psi will taper as the rpm's get high - anything over 5200 and the psi should start to fall off. 4000 rpm is fairly early - you are right in your sweet spot and the psi should hold at 15 at least for another 1000 rpm.
