I noticed 2 weeks ago that I had to put my foot further down on the gas pedal and my boost would kick in earlier without the car actually moving. And would stall when approaching a stop!!

After a visual inspection I found that the intercooler to intake piping was coming off so I put it back on and tightened the bracket

now when the car is warmed up and running for a long time or driven hard for a while I would have the same problem where I am opening the throttle even more as boost kicks in but I am not really going any faster.

visual inspections prove nothing is wrong but maybe I should change my spark plugs because of running very lean when my intake was coming off.

Any suggestions?
