Default boost problem

hey guys and girls
friday after work i was being a bit of an idiot, put the car into neutral and revved it hard a couple times, anyways put the car into gear and noticed it wasnt boosting over 5psi and def had 0 pickup, so i checked all the lines into my ebc and such but they all seem fine, i guessed this wouldnt be the prob if my ebc and boost gauge were reading 5 and i had 0 pickup but i thought id look anyways

any other suggestions?

Boost leak. If you have a FMIC check all hoses and clamps.

Maybe a long shot seeing you have checked the lines but make sure the boost line olive hasn't fallen out. Happened to my gc8 and boost dropped from almost 15psi down to 7psi.

Have you changed any hoses?
Boost olive makes a huge difference...
