Likely you have a bad intercooler cooling system pump. Very common problem.
Do you have boost for several minutes after you start driving, and than you loose it?

Open the hood and check to see if your supercharger belt is OK. Sometimes they come off.
It should be covered under warranty. See Lee Johnson at MB of Laguna Niguel, tell him I sent you. He will take care of you.
Good Luck!

If it is the pump, it should be easily covered under warranty. And even if it is not, you can pick up CM30 pump for a quarter of the price of the stock pump

I had the same problem due to electrical problems. SC came back on its own after a week of hard driving. MB replaced ECU anyway. Should be covered by extended warranty.
