Default not holding steady boost!

hey my 99 wrx is having troubles holding a strong 14psi. in first and second gear its fine. its when you are cruising round and boost winds up at a low rpm it flacuates between 5-14psi back and forths. Iv fitted a new afm and apart from a cat back exhaust its stock as a rock.
any ideas??

possibly a fueling issue, eg fuel pump. Or possibly o2 sensor, definitely one that would need to be seen in person. As mentioned, STechnic seem to know their stuff.
