Car is overboosting somethimes

First of all my car is flashed almost a year ago,first 8 months boost was always around 18-19 psi,but after 8 months I noticed car was holding down power and I noticed boost was going till 24 psi and dropped again till 18 psi after 1-2 seconds,I checked wastegate bolt and it was fine.
Next day problem was gone and boost was normal,but after a month it happened again for 1 day,next day back normal,yesterday same problem,it seems like wastegate is not working but I don't get check engine lights or dtc codes.
Someone got an idea what could cause this?

Is yours an 07? If it is check the spark plugs TSB. The same thing happened with mine when I had the old spark plugs I would boost to 23-24 and sometimes it would go into limp mode. But if you have an 08+ I don't think you need new plugs so it would be something else.

I have a 2008 , I had today an oil change at the dealer and they ordered new plugs anyway because they didn't know I had the good ones.Hope this solves the problem.
