lost 2-3 psi of boost

I took the exaust off and drove for a couple day with just the 3 inch downpipe. Car felt faster, however, max boost in 5th was 12-13psi. I put the exaust back on and still the same. I had max boost of 15psi last time I tweaked the car several months ago. Checked Bosch blowoff valve, its ok, but it has a coating of oil. The intake plumbing between air filter and turbo is coated with oil. Pulled the duct to the throttle body and its dry. Base boost is at 4-4.5 psi. I adjusted the wastegate last year and know it was higher but can't remember exact setting (5.5-6.5 psi).
What could have caused the loss of boost?
Where is the oil coming from and could it be related to the loss of boost?
'86 9000T tweaked APC, removed screens on airflow meter, 3 inch downpipe, cone air filter
