Clutch feel changes after car sees boost

So I have an issue with the 3 where after a pull, or even just a decent amount of boost the feel of the clutch changes. The engagement point will be on the floor, pump the pedal 3 or 4 times and it will go back to normal.

I am going to bleed the clutch line, but i figured if there was air in there this would be present always, not just after seeing boost. Has anyone ran into something similar before?
 
my shit did this on the stock clutch and fly wheel. I didnt find out what it was before i switch to an ACT 6 puck.
 
I totally forgot about that, Andrew, lol. She'd done it for as long as I owned the car; wouldn't do it consistently after every single hard pull but only ever did it after one, if the way I worded that makes sense. I researched it multiple times at various points and found other people with the same experience, but noone had ever really figured out the cause. Definitely give it a good bleed to make sure but don't be surprised if that doesn't have too much of an effect.

I think someone from FL posted about this a few years ago. IIRC it was an issue with the slave, but he ended up replacing his whole clutch.

I'm having a similar issue with the mustang, but that's an issue with improper shimming of the slave since its inside the bellhousing. Whole other monster of a slave, but it happens when the car is parked hot for a while, or after driving for a few miles on the highway. On that car the most effective solution is to shim the slave properly.

I would start with a good power bleed, and check the extension length of your slave.
