This might be apples to oranges here, but my past turbo cars (Audi/VW) would vary 1-4 psi depending on weather conditions. When it was hot outside (80-90deg F) I could hit 24psi but when it was cooler than that it could go down to 19psi. Same power output but less boost. I've never owned a supercharged car so this may be irrelevant but remember it takes less boost to make the same power with cooler air
