boost question?

Hey guys, I have a 2005 F350 SCLB 4X4, its has a 6.0 out of a 2007 with about 70k miles on it. Only modifications are gearhead SRL, php gryphon FICM tuner set to atlas 40, blue spring mod and 35 inch tires. I noticed the boost wouldn't go past 22 psi last night. I thought it should be closer to 30. Anyone have any thoughts? Maybe start looking for a boost leak?
TIA for any help.

First check for a boost leak? Should be around 26-28psi.
Could be a few other things, the vanes could be sticking and not cycling properly. Simple fix, with a cleaning.

Studded or stock bolts?

Just FYI I can hit 30 just about anytime that I want to.

All of the intercooler boots would be my first check for leaks.

The boost runs lower than you would expect with SRL. SRL+ turns up the boost a bit closer to 30.
