Take your intake off and check for turbo shaft play. I don't want to be negative but intermittent boost loss is frequently an early sign of turbo failure. It seems unlikely at 9,000mi but you never know and it's not terribly hard to check.

Check for leaks. Definitely sounds like one of the couplers might've come loose or come off completely causing a giant boost leak.

If a turbocharger doesn't produce enough boost pressure, it won't work. Low pressure can also be caused by leaking lines or gaskets (allowing pressure to escape before driving air into the cylinders, improper filter maintenance, and a worm or sticky poppet valve can also cause this condition.)
