Exclamation Car has ZERO boost!?!? Help!

Hope somebody knows the answer to this one?

I was driving and made a shift from 5th-3rd going 50mph. Instantly i felt the car have no power, Boost. So i step on it again and watch the boost gauge, it probably reached 1/2 a lb. before dropping back to 0. Vaccum is normal and i can hear the turbo spool. When i checked under the hood, everything seemed intact, y-pipe, vaccum hoses, bov, all secure.

Currently the car runs fine, but there isn't any boost. When i open the throttle and let off from under the hood, i can hear the turbo spool and as soon as i let off, i heard a rush of air. i thought it was the bov, but it came from the passender side. i located it to the boost solenoid on the left and tried it again to make sure. yup, a rush of air being released in that area.

Does anyone know if this has known to leak or be defective, and if so, covered under warranty? Any solutions, thanks in advance.

TI sounds to me the there is a leak or hose off some were. I had a problem with my intercooler hose once, and the car wouldn't provide boost.. I tightened it and fixed the problem. Sorry I can't be more helpful
