no turbo boost?

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide...
I have a 2006 95 with 43K miles on it. I noticed some loss of power so I changed the plugs this weekend. Though better, I still don't get the boost I used to feel when the turbo would spool up. Before, I would step on the accelerator a bit, watch the turbo needle move up to mid-point in gauge and hold on for the boost. Now, I have to give it more gas and it is downshifting to get the same acceleration.
Is it the change to summer gas? Warmer ambient air? Anything else I should be looking for.
Also, I've seen some hesitation and stuttering that I attributed to old plugs - which were a charcoal color grey (not black though). That seems to be gone, but to be seen...
