cruise=no boost

Well I seen something wierd. I was runnig down the freeway with the cruise on and noticed that there was no boost on the gage. First thing I thought gage broken. Nope kick cruise off and go figure boost gage working as normal. Now I've done this with and with out Quad XZT so that has nothing to do with it.
Was doing 70mph on cruise no psi reading, no cruise 70 mph 2psi w/o xzt, 6psi w/xzt.
So I guess cruise does not need it or something. Going to do a real got road trip here soon and see how this effects mpg's with cruise on. I'm not a cruise user feel like I got no control and feel like I could fall asleep anytime you know
Has anyone else noticed this or am I the ood one .

If I catch a good tailwind my boost will be very low.
