The thing is: when it bogs down and I manualy shift , it's away like the clappers again.
Now I know why people fit the Speed Booster. It's the same problem. Yes it could be intercooler but try a manual shift and see if it reverts to normal.
Whatever the reason, it's buggin' the life out of me. It's in for a first service soon so I'll ask them to check the IAT sensor. If it throws a fault code then it'll be the IC pump, for sure. Only 10k miles and under warranty so it's Chrysler's problem.

To the OP, I know it's a somewhat loaded statement, but maybe some topless pics would help diagnose the problem?

It's affectionately known as the Worp Drive switch
The kick down isn't really the issue. If I shift down manually then it's all normal but the bogging down does happen; not always, just sometimes.
It could be the IC Pump but it might also need a throttle re-set. I do a lot of city driving and I tend not to mash it so the fly by wire learns my driving style and the gearbox responds accordingly.
That's also a possibility.
BTW I also like the photo with the top down
