Diagnose my CEL

1999 9-3 base
Engine was about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to normal running temp. Under moderate accelleration, the car started bucking (I think I was in 3rd, might have been 4th). At first it felt like a misfire. A short time later I nearly floored it in 3rd while watching my boost gauges. The dash gauge centered between the yellow and orange bands, while my numeric gauge read 10psi. Earlier in the day I had seen a boost of about 12-13psi. I floored it again later in 2nd and could not get the pressure above 5psi.
My first thought was, as I mentioned, a misfire. But the boost not getting as high makes me think otherwise, as the bucking became less noticeable and may have stopped entirely, though the road surface made that hard to tell for sure.
Other information: My car had been sitting for three weeks with a full tank of gas. I had taken it out a few times both to get the fluids circulating as well as for errands. Probably put at least 50 miles on since the first start.
