do a boost leak test and try resetting the ECU(unplug the battery negative terminal for about 10 minutes(I think it'll reset in less time but I've heard 10 minutes)). See if that does it.
I'd be surprised to find no boost lea with it acting up like that, and if there isnt a leak i hope for your sake resetting the ecu does it. sustained boostin from highway pulls can sometimes cause leaks to form from bein under pressure longer. Anyway try those 2.

Check all of the lines on your blow off valve.......it sounds like something might be loose.
