    Mine does this to. It will boost to 20+ psi then go down to 18psi then it will boost through to 20+ psi again. Not sure why to be honest so ill be interested to hear from anyone.

      sounds to me like you have some airleaks or a split hose....really common on these cars. Can take a bit of patience to find the hose(s) which are causing it but worth doing...check also the intercooler 'o' ring if this is still used as its kak and doesnt make for a great seal. Also check the tightness of all jubilee clips as these can bleed of valueable boost if not airtight.
