Boost Problems

So I am driving down the highway at about 80-90 for around three minutes. It is 90 degrees outside and once i get up to the next stoplight I have no boost. No lights came on, no funny noises, just all of a sudden no boost. The car is running great just no boost. My HKS kit has under 3000 miles on it. When the car idles I still here that faint whine that I always thought was the turbo spinning. When I gas it no odd noises just no boost. I am really hoping the gasket connecting the hose to the turbo just wiggled loose. But at first glance all my hoses are tight, I have yet to closely inspect the turbo. I will be changing my oil tomorrow so it will be a good time to try and spin it. Anyone have similar problems? Any ideas. Is it possible there is something up with the piggyback?

You probably just had a coupler pop off somewhere between your turbo and the throttle body. check all your couplers for your intercooler piping and you'll probably find the source of your massive leak.

It actually turned out to be the wastegate. the rod had popped off and the wastegate was completely open. TY for the advice though
