As I was driving home today, about a quarter-mile from home, I decided to step on the gas once a really slow driver finally made their turn. Anyway, after doing this, the engine bogged down and returned to idle despite my foot still being on the pedal. I took it off and tried to recover from the little mishap when, to my surprise, it was as if I had no accel at all. I thought the cable to the throttle had snapped. It idled perfectly fine, even with the throttle wide open.
Anyway, I limped home at about 10mph and only then I checked under the hood to see that nothing looked out of the ordinary. I went inside and cooled off for 5 minutes before going back out and restarting the car. Didn't do this earlier because I didn't even know if it would start again.
Anyway, the Volvo started just fine and I could accelerate again. However, I noticed that it bogs down when it reaches 3k rpm when I go full throttle. Here's a video.

In this video, at the start, I punch on the gas down to full throttle. I do not let off the gas pedal whatsoever as it goes down to 1.25k. I repeat this twice. On the third time, I more gently accelerate and it goes up just fine.
Thinking this might be the overboost switch over the driver's side footwell? What else could it be?
Thanks in advance.
