If you haven't checked it you might want to check your Boost Fluid... Might be low. The N54 is becoming somewhat notorious for using a little more than some other turbo engines.

Dealer should have some Dot 6 Full Synthetic Boost Fluid in stock. Should probably get a couple of bottles.

Make sure you dry your mufflers really well, sometimes the bearings get wet. If they get wet they dont spin as fast and that will hurt exhaust flow.

Its just your idea...you are getting used to the power.

I felt the same too for a certain time.
