1000 miles, BPC and boost cut again...

Just returned from 1000 miles round trip - including 2 lots of 300 miles of sustained (cruise controlled) 90 mph (still managing 33mpg (imperial) - not bad).
Ran tank pretty low on one occasion (was struggling to find a source of Optimax where I was).
BPC performed fantastically until 100 or so miles from home, where I was beginning to get very mild see-saw boost, and boost cut in sudden WOT in 3rd to 5th gear.
Let the car cool, and took the BPC off for another dose of carb and throttle body cleaner. One of the openings (the bottom, I think) had a dark oily residue around its lip. Is this normal? Should anything be coming Car seems fine again after another 50 miles this morning, but is again pointing to a replacement BPC in the not too distant future.
Any comments welcome
