My guess; there is a leak in the piping somewhere. It happened to my buddies SRT after we installed his FMIC. His boost gauge was reading at no more than 5psi at the most. So double check all pipes and silicone connections for leaks or gaps. If that isn't it then I don't know what to tell you.

Post some pictures of your setup. How can you tell you have pressure drop when you are not even building boost. 3" piping is to big for your motor anyway, the intercooler its self is to big I bet, specially if you are still running the t25.
