Did you happen to notice if it even feels more sluggish when in vacuum than it normally would? More throttle needed, that kinda thing or is it just no boost above 5PSI?

Hmm, tough to say. I didn't realize what was going on for about 10 minutes, until I tried to make a pass.

Yep, sounds familiar. I almost got killed a couple times because mine would just do it out of the blue, running fine, and then for seemingly no reason, I'd pull into traffic and almost get my doors torn off. Hope there's some codes to help ya track it down
