Weird boosting

[andyrew]

So Last summer when I bought the car I was boosting around 20psi, Come winter and it slowly rolls down to 15psi. I first attributed it to my plugged cat from doing a seafoam treatment.. But now yesterday driving 200 miles I got on it a couple of times to pass people (So far im at 350miles on my tank w/ 1/4 tank left.. trying to get some good MPG readings before I install my stage 3 kit) and It runs right back up to 20psi! Keep in mind this is 5th gear @ 3krpms and my temp gauge says its 94 degrees outside.

Now Today Its 54 degrees outside in the morning and after its warmed up I do a quick boost in 3rd gear and its at 15psi.. Warmed up for lunch, about 70 outside and its at 17psi.

Can anyone explain this? This is a large amount of boost difference..

Current Setup:
k03
FMIC (Past summer no FMIC, no difference in boost due to no MBC)
GIAC file
Borla exhaust, 1st muffler delete
KNN filter w/ opened up airbox
Baileys DV

What are your thoughts? Freak of nature? Any logical explanation?

It doesnt really make much difference as I am installing my APR Stage 3 setup very shortly (Just got my 2 post lift installed in the garage). I just am really confused..

Wow no one?

boost leak maybe? have you tested it?

yeah on the giac files, cooler weather gives you less boost readings, cause it's denser air. in 80+ degrees i used to jump up to like 20-22 psi on giac files, but still felt slower.

maybe a shot in the dark but how about colder air = denser air = not as much boost, but same performance due to lower iat's. its completly normal and im assuming you didnt feel a performance dif?
