Default Not hitting full boost?

So I decided to do a data log and I noticed I'm only reaching about 11 psi when it was originally tuned for 15. I think it has bin like this for a while as it feels the same speed since I started driving it this year. I haven't changed anything in the setup expect the tranny. I have emailed the guy who tuned it and haven't gotten a response back yet. I am using aem ems with aem tru boost gauge. Any ideas why

11psi wg spring and your boost controller came unhooked or a bad wire? I had that happen to me.

Im a noob when it comes to fixing turbo setups. To check for boost leaks do i make sure all the intercooler piping couplers are tight? I will check the waste gate and mac boost solliend to see if any lines came off. I dont even remember if it always said 11 on my boost gauge as i rarely look at it.
