coolent temps norm xcept when boosting????

ok ive got it to stay with safe operating temps when I drive as long as im not boosting past 1-2 psi. but when I jump on it the temps go up 17-18 higher than they should be. goes from 96-97 to 114C. any idea on what would make it run ok when not boosting but when i get on it it causes the temps to rise so high? thanks!

Make sure your water pump isn't slipping at high rpm. The higher the boost the higher the stress on the coooling system, but something isn't 100%. You meanh 11-12 psi i assume?
