If its not due extreme changes in temperature, it almost sounds to me like your diaphragm is collapsing your stock BPV spring and its getting stuck. I had a similar issue and found mine collapsed at 600 miles on the OD, put a new dejon spring in and fixed.

Not guaranteeing this is the issue, just sounds similar and the Dejon spring is like $10. You could try that or take it to the dealer.

I have had two stock turbos with the stock BOV.......everytime I pop out the BOV, it is swallowed by the diaphragm. Similiar issues observed in boost as your describing. Dejon spring resolved everytime.
