Boost Problems

Hey all, just wondering if someone knows how to solve this problem for me. Ive got a blitz boost controller and ive set it to .7 bar. Once i turn the car on and has warmed up enough to give it abit of a punch, im able to reach .7 bar easily. After about 10-20 mins of driving the setting that normally reaches .7 bar only ends up reaching about .64 - .66, and to reach .7 again i have to turn the settings up on the controller. Once i get back in the car later on and its cooled down abit, these new settings now reach about .78, and i hve to turn it down again. All this fuckin round with the controller is starting to get to me.  Thought maybe it could be because the engine bay gets abit hot, ive built a heat shield and added extra cold air pipping but it still has the same problem. Does anyone know how to go about fixing this??
Any help would be great!!

your intercooler is probably heatsoaking and what material are you using for your heatshield?
is it still top mount? .05 bar isnt much mate. 1psi

Yea its still the stock top mount. Im using aluminuim, but wen the problem didnt go away i also put some heat tape on it, as a temp solution. Yea i no its not much, jst gettin sick of changin da settings all the time.
Gonna put the battery in the boot in the next few dayz n make a straight air intake n construct a better heat shield. Hopefully moving the filter away from the cooller will make a diff. What material do u recommend to use for a heat shield?

Aluminium is the 3rd best metallic thermal conductor after silver and copper...

Which side of the intercooler are you measuring from?
Which side of the intercooler is the boost controller connected to?
