I frequently go over the Cascades and have had the same type of 
high-altitude stumble for a few years.  I've also started getting it 
occasionally at low altitudes.  I recently noticed three things about it: 
(1) It happens at almost exactly 5 psi of boost, and (2) If I shut the 
engine down and restart it, it goes away and stays away as long as the 
engine isn't shut down again, (3) It happens more often when I restart the 
engine after it being off for a few minutes, as in making a quick stop 
somewhere.
