It started yesterday my car was making noises that sounded like either a tea kettle whistling or high frequency on a radio when i got to around 10 psi (its set at 14) and it falls flat on its face like its missing or has fuel cut when i get anywhere near boost, I'm a noob to forced induction so I'm kind of worried any ideas on where to start looking for a leak or if thats even what it is and where to get a boost leak tester etc?
 
I would definately do a boost leak test. Or even before that do a once over all of your clamps and make sure they are tightened enough. Also I see that you have an aftermarket bov; is it recirculating? and is it adjusted properly?

Just a few things to check before any other conclusions can be made.

Nailed it, I started checking hoses and clamps and saw that a nut fell off the bov on one side, got some new ones and its back to normal, thanks for the help guys.
