Default Limited boost on original S4

I own a 1993 S4 since new. For some times now I experience the following problem: When the car is cold or when the outside temperature is below ~15C, the turbo boost goes to 2.0 (all fine). In the summer time, the boost is limited to 1.4. The local mechanics have no idea on what can be causing this problem. Can somebody help in orienting the search?

Many thanks

Default The boost is electronically controlled based on outside/intake temps...

Thus if it is cool outside it will decrease the boost...if it is warm outside it will increase the boost. (Sounds backwards but Audi wanted a consistant driving experiance) regardless of outside/intake temps.

you have it backwards. if it's cold out the ecu increases boost. if it is warm outside the ecu decreases boost.

What planet did you just arrive from? And, what is the purpose of dragging up a 7 year old post that you are supposeldly correcting? YOUR POST IS INCORRECT. Mr cpayne had it correct long ago.

Agree. Mr. ChargerSrt10 is a Noob here and appears to be trolling through the old posts. Expect more of same.

Given the username, what else could you possibly expect other than a troll? LOL
