Is your clutch slipping?

I used to always be able to hear the turbo at work, and still can if I change gears around 3-4k. But any higher and I don't hear anything, just engine noise. It's like the turbo just stops working once it's hit 4000rpm Please for the love of god tell me it's just a boost leak?
Has anybody had experience with this issue? Car is a stock 07 STI except for catback.

Perfect timing it's booked in for a 60,000km service at subaru tomorrow, but i'd really like a heads up or any information to know what i'm in for.

Cheers,
Chris.
