To have, normal boost pattern, vacuum at 17, Idle fine and no smoke or anything from exhaust, but feel kind of slow? I don't know what's going on, but just recently i fixed my 2ndary boost and after a week of driving it like that, it kind of feels slow. Am i just getting used to it or what. Everybody else who takes a ride with me tells me it's fast and all that, but somehow i don't feel it.



I'm runing 12psi, I have Dp, hi-flo, catback, PFS IC, PFS PMS, Apexi Intake and some other goodies.



Thanks

well actually it was 2 am. and it was around 60 degrees. Could be maybe my spark plugs or wires. I'm runing all 9's but i don't redline it that often maybe once or twice a week and i also don't race that often. How do i know if they are fouled.

Is all that on a stock clutch?

Hummmm



Coil?

Spark Plugs?

Wires?



Thats my guess, as long as the power is just down a little, but not jumping.

mine felt really fast when i first started driving it hard. Now im used to it and it just doesent feel as fast to me. My passengers **** their pants as we sweep past 120 with ease, but i dont know i am just used to it. More mods will cure that!

I get the same thing with my passengers. I hit 100mph with ease and they ar like, damn we are allready going that fast. I like I get used to things until the next mod. I only have an exhaust and racing clutch. Next is the intake and intercooler. Thats when I know I will notice another difference. Is your boost ok?
