[s-cars] hot intake temps = higher boost???

[Jeff Hemmerlin]

On my stock 95 S6 when ambient temps are approx. 85
deg F and up, I will see boost pressures of 16-17 psi.
 When ambient temps fall, so does max boost, down 1-2
psi.  It is my understanding (from this list) that the
ECU allows higher boost at higher ambient temps.  Is
this correct?  I thought the cooler the air entering
the combustion chamber, the less chance of detonation.
 Therefore higher boost levels could be run with
cooler intake temps.  Thus the reason for happersizing
the IC.

What am I missing?
