Temperature should run higher when it is hot out. Make sure that your cooling system is working well and that the secondary electric fan is working.

Turbo's don't produce as much power when it is hot out.
The incoming air is hotter and thus less dense.
The intercooler does not cool as well when it is hot resulting in further loss of boost.
