Boost increase in cold weather...

I fully understand boost is a measurement of restriction and air temp should have no effect.

I noticed since it has been 20ish degrees my truck is making more boost. When it shifts into high gear with the pedal to the metal it makes 32-33lbs, in the past 30 was tops.

The cold air is more dense, thus you will get more boost to a point with lower temps.
