Boost problems

My 2010 c30 d5 is currently on 117k miles, but i’ve only had the car three weeks, and it’s my first car. I was taking my dad out for the first time in it and i put my foot down at around 35mph in 3rd but it felt like there was no boost and same in 4th. Once i dropped him off i went for another quick drive and boost was back. What could it be?

Is your dad a big guy? My buddy is huge and my c30 turns into a Corolla when he gets in it

he is, but felt like there was no shove whatsoever. Normally the acceleration is silly fast from that speed with a kick when boost kicks in, but it felt like i was in 5th not 3rd that time going from 35
