If your gauge checks out with no signs of leaks, then I'd say a leak around the DV too or even a faulty wastegate.

Does the car feel like there is no boost? If it feels OK it is probably your gauge.

Are you sure there are not codes, or just no CEL.

I'd go for a bad diverter valve or wastegate, but there should be some codes stored with that.

Check your N75 connection. Pull the boot off the connector to check the wires too.

I would guess that you had an overboost situation and the car has gone into limp mode. Clearing the code will solve the problem

would the over boost code cause a cel. replaced dv with the stock one that did nothing, really hoping its not the wastegate.

Overboost will not cause a CEL. It will however essentially shut off the turbo
