Check Intercooler to intake hose. with long story

My 04 did the same thing, I'd press the accelerator expecting the usual acceleration, but instead got nothing. After a few seconds boost spooled up fully and I was able to accelerate. It started to happen more frequently and when it was bogging down I noticed lots of black smoke out the exhaust. Until one day I tried to get up to highway speed and I felt the delay followed by a loud bang. Check engine light came on, and engine died. I pulled over to the side and thought I put a hole in my piston. But on the lower drivers side of the intercooler there is a 3" (approx) dia hose that popped off the inter cooler. I was able to get it back on and nurse it home where I was able to clean and re-install the hoses tight. No issues ever since. Knock on wood. Long story short, I would check for boost leaks.
