Default Porsche 944 Turbo

Hi, everyone...

If anyone can help me with this much appreciated....I have had my Porsche 944/951 turbo for 6 years and i have never had any issues with power loss.
This is what happened, the last 2 weeks i got a oil change and went to a no thrills gas station and filled up. A few days later i noticed as i am going from 1st manual gear it is sluggish taking off, second gear the same and so fourth. But when i am on the parkway even though it take me a while to climb up to 60 mph it stays fine when i am driving. Its only when i stop and start from 1st to 5th i dont take off right away, its slow and finally gets there...Can this be transmission issue?
Please help, not sure what to do....

I have also tried fuel injector cleaner and new sunoco ultra fill up but still the same.

Check your cat to see that it's not plugged.

How many times have you changed the fuel filter over the past six years?

Well if the owner (or owners) before you never changed it it might be original. Slim chance, but it's possible. Get yourself a newBosch orMahle fuel filter and change out your old one. Don't forget to depressurize your fuel rail first or you'll get a fuel facial.
