Boost issue

I have been FBO for about 14,000 miles now. Car has 103,000 miles.

Recently, my car hasn't felt as quick as it used to be. Wastegate rattle is rediculous and I feel like my turbos just aren't pushing as hard as they used to, I used to hit 16psi easy with JB4, I have been doing WOT runs and my car is only hitting 12-13 psi, this is with little humidity and 63 degree ambient temps, I know it isn't a boost leak as I just fixed one...could my turbos be going out and has anyone else experienced this loss in boost?

I do blow some white smoke out of the exhaust every once in a while but other than that and the wastegate rattle, I have no other noises or weird things happening with the turbos as far as I know

when you are hitting 12/13 psi, what are you targeting, have you logged map1 or 2 just to see if you hit targets?

I'm map 5 right now, I will put it on map 1 or 2 and see if I hit target boost

I had to replace all of my vacuum lines recently because they were all cracked. Started out boost would only hit 16, then 12, then 8 and at WOT it would drop even more to 4. Eventually I lost all boost. Good luck
