Default Boost Issue/Possible overheating?

I was on the track last week and it was reading 17psi of boost first 3-4 laps. Then it started reading at 10psi for about another 5 laps then suddenly it drops to 3psi. I can feel a significant difference plus I can see on the Aim Solo that I was getting slower & slower. So it's not just reading those numbers but actually producing those numbers. We initially thought it was a boost leak but after lunch once the car was cooled down, same thing. 17psi then 10psi then 3psi.

Car has full 991.1 Turbo S with ByDesign Stage 4 + Meth

Anyone else experience this? What were your solutions?

Hey Miky
Any logs you can send? That will tell us what's going on. She may have been protecting due to a heat or fueling issue.

LOL can you make one asap and we take a look? File may have been too hot for the track. Or a hardware issue.

Funny I did a track day at Nola a few weeks ago with zero issues but I was on my pump gas map not meth. Definitely sounds like a safeguard issue like sam said but rest assured your in good hands..

I had a similar issue recently. I wanted to use my 100 Octane tune all the time but for my configuration, It was just too hot.
Sam gave me a 93 tune and gosh, much easier and my motor is happy.
