Default Boost problems

Hello got a STi 2002

Today im having problems, Always runs 1.5 bar.

Now only running 0.6bar and at about 5k will hit just under a bar.

Basically i was out testing it driving along ignition of then back and would get 1.5bar for a split second

Also had it fine for about 5-6miles then goes back and forth?

Any ideas thanks

have you a split/ leak in the vacum hose coming off the Compressor housing? check along it where it has a T piece and all the way over to the Boost Solenoid
