Default Eventually losing boost.....

Just realized I haven't posted here in a while. Well here is the deal, I do alot of Touge (canyon runs) and I love it so [:'(]to those that dont. Well for some reason, I have been losing boost lately, wellatleast ever since I threw my stock intake pipe back on, I never had this problem with the AEM SRI. Let me explain, for the first 2 runs I am fine, then into the third run I gradually start losing boost to the point where at times I am only pushing 5 psi. Yes I open the hood and there is mysmore making super hot turbo glowing red in all of its glory, but I never really had a problem like this with the AEM. What do you guys think? Could it be the stock intake pipe not bringing in enough air?

I dont think its a boost leak, cus if it was, and this is just my assumption, I would be losing boost at all times. I only lose boost after about 2 or 3 hard runs. Once it cools down its back to normal. On my drive home, back up to 15 psi.

Yeah I figured it was the heat, just needed confirmation. Anything you recommend me to do to help this out PSI Chick?

I'm looking into a big fmic that will for sure be my next mod. Fan mod sounds good too... how do I go about doing that?
