horrible month

my car has went through alot this month. anywhere from skipping timing to boost leaks. i have went through everything i could think of and cant figure out why im not hitting 25psi like i should and have done before. can anyone just throw out some suggestions for me and why you would lose boost. my normal is 25psi and im hitting around 20psi. recently my timing has been reset and i added a return fuel system, but this has been going on before all that.

Could be TVS....jussayin

Boost leak? Bad BPV?

What have you checked and/or eliminated as potential problems?

sorry i should have explained alittle more. i have a tvs set up. when i first installed it i was hitting 25psi. after i took it off again to replace some house for my endplate is when i started having the boost leak. after first the needle was being alittle shaky at about 22 to 23psi no its just hitting 20 psi. i replaced all the gaskets besides the one between the s/c and the manifold which i do have (just havent replaced it yet) but i dont think the gasket could be the reason y i would lose 5 psi. also i just added the return fuel system, but that wouldnt cause it to lose boost. i dont think :/
