Without seeing your exact method of downshifting (how fast, rev matching, etc.) it is hard to say. But I would start by looking at the components of the system that help regulate the psi. Examine the wastegate first. Also because when downshifting, the throttle plate is opening/closing fast, look closely at the blow off valve. It may not be opening enough, keeping some psi in the system. (although that usually results in compressor surge) It can't hurt to take a look since we don't have any more details of your setup or driving style.
