Default every year during the cold weather season, boost levels have >>>
dropped a few pounds on my car with GIAC software. I know this as i correct it and am able to dial up the boost machine during the winter, and need to dial it back in the warmer temps...

Now the car pulled the same either way regardless of boost level....do not confuse performance vs boost numbers...boost is not everything in a car...

Default peter, not too many here hitting 30-33psi...you're in a league with only a handful.
i can only wish that i was pulling 30-33 psi all day.

i'm trying to squeeze every HP out of this motor...so i'm doing the DP next week. see what happens.

Default i never noticed boost level dropping...just the nice surge of HP in this kind of weather.
when you get nice performance, who looks at boost pressure anyways.

Default Cool temps yeild somewhat better performance..>>
at a reduced boost level. The ECU automatically compensates some so there is not a wild swing in performance if boost was left unchanged..

Except when the stock stuff is broken. Or it's in for further mods. ;^)

You most likely have a boost leak. Pressure test as Jeff suggested
