Help: at the dealer no boost...

Just got my car back from the dealer, and was on my way to the track. Hit the gas the car felt sluggish... no boost... takes forever to go through the gears.... in first gear with ESP off, it barely spins the tires....

I brought it back and they said they would check it out quickly.... anyone have this happen? no boost? quick fix maybe?

thx...

Could be and intercooler pump failure maybe. Were you getting on it while driving to the track?

I left the dealer, about 15 minutes later, I hammered on the highway to pass some cars..... and then I realized something was wrong..... took forever to go through the gear.....

had similar experience at the track,turned esp off to warm up the tires had it in first gear manual mode could barely turn over the wheels;embarassing,end up running 12.9@108 followed by a couple of similar 108-109 mph passes inthe 12.9-13.0 range.the next day was back to normal.never knew what it was but happened during the summer.
