0 psi boost pressure

I was coming back from a ski trip with the family tonight and running about 70 mph with the cruise, when I accelerated hard to get by a tandem semi. As I got passed him and let the cruise take back over, there was no power, egt's peaked to 1400, and there was no boost pressure at all. After nearly getting run over by the truck I had just passed, I limped about a mile to the first exit, and coasted down to the bottom. When I restarted, pulling into traffic, there was full boost and power again. I got out and checked all the charge air lines and hoses, and all were ok. I continued about an hour home, occasionally hitting WOT to see if it would happen again, thankfully not. There were no codes thrown and now I'm at a loss and am concerned as I was planning to tug the 5'er in 3 weeks to Savanah, and don"t want to be stranded in tow.

Anybody that has any thoughts or ideas would be helpful,

Thanks in advance, Peter
