3lbs of boost!! help!!

So i got my oil changed a few weeks ago at the dealer, ever since i've only been pushing 3lbs of boost at full throttle, when it shoul be between 5 and 7lbs. I'm going nuts. Any ideas, i checked all the vaccuum lines and they're all connected, don't know what to do. I am dreading taking it to the dealer to get worked on. any suggestions??

Hmm, tennis ball stuck in the intake?

Perhaps the pulley is slipping?

Check the bypass valve for proper operation.
