Intermittent boost on a high mileage 2.5 is most likely bad throttle linkage microswitches. Located on the bracket that the throttle cable attaches to, the small grey microswitches tell the computer when the linkages are in the idle and full load positions. When they have a ton of miles the little roller followers that are part of the switches get flat spots and then don't actuate the switch. If the switch doesn't actuate, the computer still thinks its at idle and doesn't allow boost. Before you go modding everything give fixing the problem a try. Visually inspect the little rollers for flat spots and check the switches with an ohm meter.
