Default Need help with a boost problem

Last week I was on my way home on the highway and went to merge off the on ramp in 5th gear. Made it to about 3500-4000 rpm and shifted, after I shifted it refused to build any boost at all. I can hear the turbine spin but nothing happens. It's not throwing any codes at all and drives normal besides no boost ( drove it home) as far as I can tell it's only running rich which I assume is from the lack of air. I've checked the fmic (treadstone tr8), all the intercooler piping (jbr), wastegate seems to be fine(stock), boost controller is working (grimspeed), and the bov (gfb respons) is brand new. Any other ideas on what to check I'm barely making 0.5psi. other mods include hpfp internals (Autotech) Corksport down pipe and race pipe with stock catback and jbr sri along with a v3 access port on ots stage 3 93 octane. I know I need a tune but this comes first obviously.

Do a boost leak test.

If you aren't making boost, it isn't driving normally.

As said, boost leak test.
