Try turning the boost down and see if it goes away. Every tuner has different parameters for overboost protection. That is what race gas and separate maps are for.

Yep, you are just at the limit of triggering overboost protection...
With the colder air - your probably making a slight bit more boost than before, causing an overboost scenario.

They do, are you on the pump-fuel setting or race?
Overboost protection allows a very short spike, before cutting the engine... Also possible that the boost gauge is a bit off.

im on pump gas . i should be at 18psi but the weather messes with the boost. i have an eletronic controller im goin to install so it does not spike, i lowered my boost today i was gettin 15 1/2 psi i drove it for about 40mins total today and i got on her a few times and it did not cut on me but im going to give it a few more days to make sure it is overboost protection. and yes i think my gauge might be off a little

Yep - the overboost protection is there to keep the motor from harm - and a good thing my software has that protection by the sound of it!
