Default Loosing Boost

Yesterday I noticed that I was was peaking at 15 psi instead of the normal 18psi when I floor it. I took the engine cover off and looked at all the hoses for cracks or splits with a flashlight but found nothing. This may be a wasted thread but I figured I'd ask to see if anyone had suggestions of how to trouble shoota problem like that.

Thanks.

Vag it to see if something is wrong. If not try resetting the ECU buy unplugging you battery for 5 minutes. I have never tried this, but it might Work. WORTH A TRY

How hott was it outside when you tried this, it happened to me a few times in Oklahoma when it was near 95+ degrees outside. But you could have a small boost leak and those are a pain to try to find I hate its like a needle in a haystack kinda ordeal.
