Default boost problem

for a while now I have had an intermittent boost problem. this has happened on my old standard ECU and my current chipped one (1.1 Bar)so it's not the ECU that is at fault.

Sometimes when I have been sitting in traffic for a while or a short blast on a hot day, my boost seems to limit itself to 0.4 bar. once it's cooled down, I get the full 1.1 bar again.

I have changed the boost solenoid and the problem has not changed so its not a sticky solenoid.
any ideas ?

Also, a separate problem that may be related. When I go down hill and off the gas for a while, the engine check light comes on and wqill only disappear when I dip the clutch and let the engine idle for a few seconds. Only error code I get is for the IACV have adjusted the TPS sensor correctly as the JGM site. I have cleaned it and I have replaced the IACV it. Not sure if this is related to the boost problem.
