What's wrong? My car buckles when shifting 2-3 at maybe 16+ PSI...

I noticed this a couple times now. It only seems to happen when I shift while in boost and the car is pulling hard. It feels like I lose momentum power. FWIW, I'm not getting any other strange behavior, no noises, nothing.

Any ideas?

EGTs dont throw a CEL, usually a soft code.
