Question do i have a boost leak???

2009 cobalt SS T/C
I noticed a few days ago when starting to acclerate with the boost still in the (vacuum) negative 3 or 4 range i start to hear the turbo whistling like it would if i was in the boost (positive range). Also instead of the boost going up to about 22 PSI its only getting to about 16 PSI.

See my signature. You have to have some form of compressed air. The rest is cake.
