That is normal, I'm in the UK and I get the same reading throughout the year and in the middle of winter.

???

what the 0,6 lbs? or are you talking about 0.6 bar.... in that case 0.6 bar = 8.702 264 28 pound/square inch essentially 9 lbs. that 1 lbs that you are missing is probably due to heak soak. How is your car at night and during your first WOT run?

Your turbos aren't worn. That boost pattern isn't really unusual. I agree with montego - that sounds like heat soaking. A better intercooler or cold air intake can help a lot.
