idle problem(searched)

This morning on the way to school i was driving like regular but had a semi get next to me and tried to pull over so i hit it in 4th gear since we were on the highway and it being cold out i saw around 13-14 pounds of boost only for a seconds. During that boost my car kinda stumbled 2 or 3 times which was weird, kinda felt like i was getting way to much fuel. So alittle down the road i decided to test the car and see if it did it again, no problems during the test, so i come to a light and my idle sounds like a large streetport, but steady in the low 700's and alittle of the 600's. So i decided to go on home, which was an hour drive back, the car drove and felt the same as it always does, i didnt boost except for once to see if there would be any problems boosting. NO problems but didnt boost very high. I dont see any smoke, starts up after i shut it down just fine, just idle kinda bad. Any ideas?!

Cause the rear rotor gets less cooling so probably your cooling system wasnt up to it so it probably over heated and maybe warped a housing, did you have an eye on the temperature.

temperature was perfectly fine, just over boosted, since it was 30 degree outside and i dont have my boost controller installed yet, i prob got alittle bit of detonation, so im gonna try and rebuild just the rear rotor since the engine only has 50k on it, ill just have to strap the front half together to keep it compressed
