Default boost topping out?

lately when i'm driven.. oh say, probably for about 5- 10 minutes... if i get on it, my boost will hit about 4 and then almost top out or something of that nature. like its trying to downshift and then it will bump back up...

i did it again after the motor warmed up a little longer and i didnt have the problem.

I wouldn't really worry about it personally. It can be tuned out if it bugs you though.

The idle can be anywyas.
