downpipe.. that's besides the point though.. get ahold of a logger, and go d some test runs. get the boost set so you are boosting as much as possible with maximum timing advance.. when you get to the track put a little higher octane gas in there to help ensure good timing.. you should go 13.5 at the slowest..

Sounds like it has something to do with the flow of air at certain temps. Kinda like cold air is more dense than hot.
