Cant figure out why my boost is so high its on stock acutator with 14b turbo/wastegate. Dont get me wrong its fast but I do believe 20 psi is dangerous.....also this 0-60 thing tells me im runnin 8.2 hmm can u say spinnin tires?
 
so you have the wastegate connected directly to the source? or are you using a mbc of sorts(or the stock bcs?)

20psi is alot to run with no fuel mods listed. 26 is alot even with fuel mods. i would stop going wot till you get this issue resolved.

on a hot day, air is less dense. on a cold day, its more dense, and thus when boosting, it will be compressing more air than usual. but a proper boost control device will still regulate 20psi hot or cold. the only time youd read a difference in temps is when logging airflow or intake temps.

if you are using a mbc, you are getting some insane boost creep.
 
I 2nd that. What kind of boost controller are you using? if any? I would advise not to run the car hard at those boost levels. Also, are you sure you have you boost gauge set up properly?
