I don't know anything about the cold ambient temp / loss of boost issue on the turbo 2.5, I'm simply replying to @TurboMazda 's idea of the transmissions torque converter operating out of lockup.
I've noticed this on my 2.2 diesel and my 16.5 2.5 NA both. It's more pronounced on the diesel than on the 2.5 NA. Seems like when the ambient temperatures are low, the skyactiv transmission keeps the torque converter out of lockup to heat the fluid faster. It does not take long, maybe 5ish minutes.
I made a little video clip of it a while back to send to my brother ('19 CX5 Signature 2.5turbo) to see if he experiences the same thing. It was 37 deg F and my C5D had been running just a few minutes.
@TurboMazda , is this what you're describing? ...
Manual mode in 4th gear to show the unlocked torque converter
