Low boost?

I think I have a little bit different of a boost problem. I still seem to be able to get roughly the same peak numbers as before, but lately it seems like I have a little more smoke and usually at steady 70mph cruise I was getting about 3-5 psi with the new turbo and yesterday I noticed that I had between 1 and 2 psi on the same road and same speed. I drive it every day, so I am positive that it really is a few psi lower. Any ideas? I would think a boost leak would get worse at higher pressures. Pre turbo exhaust leak? Can higher outside temperature cause lower boost? It's been hotter and I didn't notice it, but I don't stare at my boost gauge all the time either. The truck still runs and drive fine other than that. Thanks for any ideas.
