The base model should run rock-solid at the top of the yellow. The SE and Viggens are a bit more picky and many times won't run that high because they have a bit more to deal with in the area of ping-control. But in your case, I would say "not normal." The first thing to check would be the large intake pipe going from the intercooler up to the top of the throttle body. Make sure the connections are all tight and there are not any obvious leaks. Then check all around the throttle body for any vaccuum lines that may have popped off.
After this, you're looking at less-obvious stuff, so I would just have a reputable shop have a go at it. Possibilities would be MAF, plugs, carbon build-up, etc.
Good luck!
