**Idiot Alert** OK guys...I've had the car for only 2 months...how does heatsoak feel like?

NogaroPR · 09-05-2005, 06:57 AM

Just finished my clutch break in period. I'm steping on the gas but the car is not responding as fast as I though it would. Boost seems OK peaking at 22lbs and regulating at 15lbs but I don't feel the hard punch that I'm used to. I'm thinking heat soak (IT'S HELL HOT DOWNHERE). The problem is that I'm an idiot that can tell what is heatsoak since I've never had a turbo car till now. The car feels like its revving pretty good but it doesn't pull as hard...is that it?

a boost controller? i would suggest doing a pressure test just to make sure you dont have a boost leak.

that could be your problem

It is usually at a low RPM (~3700 RPM). I would also get some overboost DTC's from this. The new GIAC code does not do this TC.

That's probably why it doesn't feel fast. Put in an MBC as others suggested.

It is usually at a low RPM (~3700 RPM). I would also get some overboost DTC's from this. The new GIAC code does not do this TC.
