Yea, it's not a good feeling. Using my aftermarket oil temp gauge as a reference, the car loves to build boost and vent at partial throttle when the oil temps are hovering around 160-180F. Once it approaches 180F it takes more throttle effort to build up boost.
The torque feeling is amazing, too, from a start. The further you press down on the pedal, the more power you feel. Once it starts acting up, there's not much more power felt. It's more difficult to build up more than 5 PSI of boost. My car get unusually quiet since the throttle isn't opening quickly or as wide. Plus, econo-cars get off the line quicker.
When my car was stock I made some videos where the car would spin the tires in 1st and 2nd from a roll, and after while it couldn't spin the tires anymore. I also recorded 2nd gear pulls. When the car acted up, it would take longer to finish the 2nd gear pull. Revs were slower to build up, and the motor didn't scream.
