Had a conversation with the dealer today and the service tech told me the actuators on the diverters may be stuck, thus boost is being released. I never brought my car in for them to "re-lube" the actuators. He said this could very well be the problem.
He also mentioned that it will probably be a quick fix regardless. Let's just hope so!! I will be bringing it in tomorrow morning. As for mods, they don't have any problems with that because he said 90% of the turbos that come in are modded. So...? We'll see soon I hope!!
Thanks for your input everyone. I tried tugging at whatever hoses I could but everything felt pretty snug so nothing was obvious to me. I ended up taking the car to the dealer. They pulled off the air box and Y-pipe. It turned out that the hose connecting the right intercooler came loose with the o-ring seal out of place. Must be my new 70 mm FVD exhaust and all that extra boost . As for cost, it was all covered under warranty. I still can't get over how sweet that exhaust note is.

With temps changing here back and forth in Cali turbo guys need to be on boost-hose watch The hoses to the y-pipe and to the intercoolers are especially prone to popping off;(

It looked like it's just two "barbs" that fit with the intercooler and doesn't seem like it is well-designed to hold all that pressure. Are the aftermarket ones better?

There are a number of aftermarket intercoolers out now. You may have to decide how far up the performance chain you're going to go in deciding on a specific one. It seems that some of the highest power kits have ever larger intercoolers. I think Switzer have the largest.
Just got a call from the service guy and it turns out that one of my turbos had gone bad. It does have to do with re-lubricating of the actuator arms, which I never had done. Thus, the actuator arm of one of the turbos is now stuck in the "small" configuration of the turbo, which prevents the car from getting the proper boost. Now, they are waiting for Porsche to let them know if they have to change one or both of the turbos (I'm hoping both!!). The good news out of all this is, it is all covered under warranty.

I may change mine at some point.
I just changed mine to AWE (along with the larger throttle body and re-mapped ECU). I'll let the forum know how well it works tomorrow when I pick it up (and after someone drags me out of the car).

You if it happens again, rather than changing the hoses, you can simply change clamps from "plumber" style clamps to stepless screw clamps that are used on aircraft...
