Losing 7psi of boost!

Hi all, I am new to 1addicts here, but I have been a reader for a year or two now! I have had my 1er for about a year and a half. So let's get down to the meat and cheese of the post! I just installed Ar catless dp's last week along with a Cobb Accessport tune. On the first drive out of the shop the car threw a P30FF fault code with the orange engine light. I did my first datalog and noticed that my car was running about 7 to 8 psi of boost while I should be running 14 to 16psi of boost with the stage 2 aggressive map! I investigated under the hood and noticed that there is a small gap about a mm between the charge pipe and the throttle body. I also found that one of the diverter hoses running into the charge pipe was loose compared to the others. My question is could these problems be causing me to loose 7psi of boost! Thanks and I apologize for the long post!
