Your car needs fixed.
What did the dealer say about it? If you haven't already taken it in, do it now.
It should feel fast everytime you put your foot into it.

It's actually a recall... intermittent lack of power. Whether you need it or not depends on the build date of your car, not how many miles it has on it.
I brought my 06 MS6 to the dealer for an oil change and they also did the reflash.
Before the reflash, the turbo kicked off at around 4600 rpm. After, it stays on well into the high 5s.

The dealer said they performed the reflash prior to my purchasing it. I asked if it was something that might need to be done periodically or repeated and the service guy said no. I'm cosidering taking it in next week for them to check things out. Perhaps it could be something else. Any thoughts?

Take it back to a dealer, maybe a different dealer. If they don't fix it right, raise some hell.

Turbo lag???

When I accelerate in the 2k-3k RPM range my car seems to shake a little...not as smooth as I would think it should be. It is especially noticeable when you are in a higher gear like 5th or 6th at highway speeds and push the gas down half way or more. It's almost as if the turbo is spooling up and it takes time to kick in. I thought that the turbo was always running to a certain extent and that it just spun faster at higher RPM? One test that I've done is 6th gear at about 2500 RPM no throttle. If I add gas relatively quickly the car seems to shudder before it smooths out.
Is this just turbo lag or is something wrong?

Turbo lag is just that, a lag in response not a shudder. I assume that you are traveling at 62-65 mph on a level roadway (2500 rpm in 6th) when you floor the gas. You have enough miles that the engine is broken in? As long as you are not lugging the engine too much, it should not shudder. Show it to your dealer, and get their explanation.

Engine is definitely broken in - I have 20k miles on it I never really noticed it until recently. I can feel the shudder...excess vibration and then it goes away. I'll show it to the dealer. Anyone else have this happen?

Could it be the rear diff? I've heard of problems there, but never experienced it myself (7K miles). The AWD kicks in under hard acceleration (not just during wheel slippage), so that's a possibility.

There is nothing wrong with the rear diff itself, but, rather how it is bolted to the chassis. The 2006's used 2 bolts, that is there the problem was. For 2007, they used 4 bolts.
