Default Loosing Boost (15psi decreasing to 10 psi)

I recently purchased the IPD ECU which increases the boost to 15psi. Works great but at WOT it will spike to 15psi then slowly decrease to 10psi which makes me think I have a leak somewhere. However, at 3/4 throttle it holds 15psi just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think it could be a leaky cbv (compressor bypass valve), but the fact that it will hold 15psi at 3/4throttle makes me think otherwise. The car does feel faster at 10psi WOT compared to 15psi at WOT. Thanks

how are your intercooler hoses? it could be your cbv, i uped to the IPD cbv seemed to help a lot. as well as silicone IC lines my boost stays consistent now, and poped a line off once so far lol
