So while driving home today my car just decided to start running half boost, it lasted about 10 min and then suddenly returned to normal.
I have no CEL light coming up so I have no idea what the issue could be (I know it does this as a self preservation mode when it registers a problem but with no light coming up I'm at a loss)
Anybody got any ideas?

Sometimes the boost solenoid or the manifold pressure sensor (near the alternator) can get dirt and oil in it, causing the symptoms you described. A quick blow out with some air can sometimes cure this.
You can lead a fool to knowledge but you cannot make him think!
