Default sometimes no get up and go power

My GT is only two months old with about 2500+ miles on it.
I`ve noticed that sometimes (happened three times) when I hit the gas its like "what happened to the turbo" Other times it like someone stuck it with a pin in its ass and she goes like it should. I don`t drive it that hard,because its still new,but I do like to have some fun at times. It`s a auto and I use Mobil or Shell super for gas. I use Mobil 1 oil and it has the Airaid intake. Has anyone else had this problem or any thoughts?

You might confirm that you are in Drive and not the auto-stick mode. I have accidentally hit the shifter when in auto-stick causing it to go into second gear while at a light. When you do that, the take off is a bit sluggish. Hope that helps.

Like I said it has only happened 3 times so far and the only thing I can think of is that maybe I didn`t come to a complete stop and the trans didn`t shift down into 1st and it started out in 2nd.
