Default lol. Most will notice before that stage...

1) Sound. Deeper, sounds like when a person has a clogged nose i.e. congested.

2) Acceleration. Less high end but you can swear there's a bit more torque, lol.

3) Feel: feels like the car is about to hesitate/knock when it gets really bad.

4) Check engine light eventually.

Default I didn't really...

It was on my B5 1.8t, I noticed a intermittent loss of boost and two days later I noticed that.
