Yup. Took three years to figure it out. Lol
my car also did it when my alternator went bad... but I had additional symptoms that you don't have.

This was happening to me too, turned out I had big boost leaks at the seals in the TB and all over my intercooler piping. Tightened all that and replaced the shaft seals in the TB, was all good.

Found a boost leak on Throttle body shaft seals, replaced them and so far I have better idle, no bogging when coming to a stop, and so far no bogging while cruising yet!
