Like someone else mentioned, just run it on the spring for now and see if it reacts as it should.

Whats your exhaust setup from the DP back? Maybe try turning the wastegate so it doesnt go back into the exhaust and see if that helps any.

Had similar problem once and cause was flex connector that blew apart making Exhuast 2" instead of 4. You can also get more boost with the cooler weather but probably not the 6psi gain you got. Just get it tuned for the higher boost.
