I have felt this also, Im in France atm and we are having about 35c during the day. My setup was giving me 1.7-1.8 bar in 3rd but in the heat its only showing 1.5 and then drops to 1.4.
I presume this is for the same reasons as mentioned above...91 S2 coupé - RIP

No Bo - MRC must have setup yours differently so that it tails boost off in hot air. Not an unreasonable thing to do but no real need in my opinion with knock sensors on board and ignition settings with air temp correction. The knock protection system pulls back timing a few steps in the event of ongoing knock detection... Then it can reduce boost - and then it turn active boost off if knock still persists.Paul Nugent

WI is a good solution - I think Greg and a few others went with a kit from Aquamist - it had a couple of options for triggering when to come on - throttle position or boost pressure I think... You don't want it on all the time as you drink gallons of water. An override button in the cabin is also a good idea - for ON-AUTO-OFF control.
Seen similar systems rigged up to garden spray jets for the intercooler as well... Helps reduce heatsoak at the strip on a hot day.Paul Nugent
