Unhappy Really Odd Boost Problem

Hey guy, flame me all you want for a repost, but i couldnt find anything like this. I drove my car yesterday and it was fine, i run 23 pounds on 101 unleaded and im in hot Arizona sun. When i get in the car today after not driving it at all till 830 at night, i go and accellerate once it gets to about 8 pounds of boost, it feels like it chokes and i dont want to push it any harder then that. I checked the lines and they are all fine, intercooler piping is fine, and the connections to the EBC are fine. I dont understand what it could be. Any help or a post to a different forum will be any help. Thanks guys!

I am no expert, but you may want to check your DV valve. I had a simular problem on my car. It ended up being a crack in the stock plastic DV valve. It was off and on until the thing just broke open completely.
