Default no boost?

yesterday this vr6 decided they wanted to race me from a stop light. so we did. i did nothing i wouldn't normally do. no over rev. no overboost. after it though i looked down at my boost gauge and relized it wasn't boosting anymore. vacuum is normal and theres no CEL. it might hit like 1psi in 4th and 5th grear? anyone ever have this problem. it doesn't even sound like its spoooling up.

no no noise at all. tomorrow im going to get under it and check all of the pipes that would be presurized and see if any of them blew off or something like that. hah thank god the car has a turbo if it didn't none of us would be going anywhere very fast.
