Pressure drop is between Turbo and DV so can only be one of the pipes off the TIP

I will check the TIP ASAP (pending a day off without rain) I have also changed the PCV pipe to silicone however I did notice that all the little pipes leading off the valves think that's the n249? Looked a little old and brittle but upon inspection I could not see any cuts/splits. Am I right in thinking I can just buy some 3mm silicone to replace all those little pipes?

I don't want to do a bypass or catch can thingy because a good number of times I have looked at tutorials and stuff and it just well confuses me and I know I would get something wrong lol.

I'm certain I am not getting limp mode as the car does feel quick if I floor it abit. The boost gadge reads when I floor it it can reach upto 8-10 psi then drops and holds at 5 also I can easily hit 100 which I found out while travelling home the other day and didn't realise how quick I was traveling which I then dropped it down to 70 so I think that rules out limp mode.
