got an unexpected 2 psi boost in this cool weather

this is kind of scary...I had the boost set at 12.5 psi in third WFO and now, with the cooler weather, I hit about 14.5....the car runs like a freakin raped ape, but I'm getting too close to the danger zone on pump gas, from what I've read on here

I have the Dawe's manual controller....does the ACV-R adjust for temperature and humidity? perhaps I need to upgrade my boost control...I don't have the money for a new engine

Yup, it is characteristic though that you get spikes in colder weather. When i got my DP and IT put in, on a 35 degree night i was spiking at 15lbs at first (had to get that corrected) from stock 10
