Boost leak? boost cut off?

[banana55]

so about a month ago my srt4 started doinf something strange. i always boost around 14psi but but one day i got on it and it was boosting fine at 14 psi but all of a sudden the boost went down to 10psi like instantly. ive seen it go all the way down to 6psi. i live in phoenix and i dont know if its the heat or something. ive kinda noticed it happens when i get on it for a while mostly in 3rd 4th and 5th. but i dont know i need some help!!

It was getting heat soaked man, i guess cause of the heat. after summer went by it fixed itself i never did anything to fix it. one of my friends told me to get an after market intercooler but i never did. it fixed itself!
