New Downpipe...Boost leak?

I just installed a 3" cat-less Eurocustoms down pipe.

When i went for my test run, i noticed the boost was significantly lower than usual. In fact, the boost barely goes above 0.

The vac is at its normal level at around 20.

Any ideas why this is?

I did some research and can't seem to find a connection between a loss of boost with the new downpipe install.

Solved the problem
I guess i needed to let the studs and gasket to heat up and then retighten it.
