Turbos spinning, no boost power though

On the highway I noticed when I went to accelerate off cruise at 82 MPH, when I pressed the pedal there was no power it felt like. Could tell there was no boost or anything it was only the engine generating any power but couldn’t hear the turbos whatsoever. Got it in the garage and off a couple slight revs the turbos are spinning. I don’t know how to check for boost leaks, so I think I’m going to have to take it in. No codes were thrown, no fluid leaks or anything I can notice. Any ideas ?

Did your transmission downshift?

You check for boost leaks initially by putting your hand on every pressurized connection and feel all the way around to make sure nothing has popped loose

What do you mean? Like I notice nothing different when I downshift at the moment, just have minimal power n acceleration. I noticed is wasn’t a super smooth upshift when I accelerated n that’s made me notice the no power/boost.

Can you make it happen or is it a once in a while issue or it happened once?

this is the first time it happened, it’s currently ongoing. I had to drive it back home abt 45 mins and no issues with anything other than just a lack of power and acceleration
