Blocked intercooler is a possibility. Also, you need to check that the intercooler hoses have not delaminated internally.

Have you checked/cleaned the MAP sensor? Temp sensor?
Split/leaky intercooler hose?
Check the grommet between the body and the airbox inlet - I have seen a couple twisted and choking the inlet.
Check that the hard plastic air intake that goes over the radiator (between the MAF and the turbo) is actually connected - sometimes it gets unclipped on the passenger side if someone has worked on the car.
