i think it might be a boost leak are your psi the same?

Unfortunately I can't see my boost levels because I don't have a boost gauge. I do have a Bavarian Technic scanner and I've heard you can see the boost levels but I have no idea how to do it since i just use mine for viewing and clearing codes. Anyone know how to do this with a BT scanner?

i had time today so i uninstalled my AA chargepipe and everything looks fine, the vac line has no holes or damage, silicone coupler has no holes but i forgot to mention that i swapped it out when i first installed it for another coupler that is the same size and everything but is alot more stiff that the AA coupler, could this be the problem? maybe it's not sealing properly because it is too stiff and not conforming to the pipe and clamps? other than that i have no more ideas of what the problem could be, i talked to AA a while ago but all their techs where gone so they're gonna have one call me tomorrow. i'm going to see if i could send them the pipe and BOV and see if there's any leaks.
