Sluggish Car
Hi, when I first installed my Turbo, my car felt like it was flying. Recently though, it feels like it's normally aspirated again. I definitely feel that it got A LOT slower.
Anything I should check for? I haven't made any changes to the car. I'm wondering if something is "giving out" on the car.

Re: Sluggish Car (KJ)
you're probably just getting used to it. when I first turboed my car I thought it was fast as hell. then I got used to it and built a motor and cranked up the boost and again I thought it was fast as hell. Now I'm back to a stock motor on low boost and I think it's slow.

You get used to it.... and it is a lot hotter now than it was when you installed the turbo. When it is hot out, my car feels so sluggish as compared to when it is icy cold.

Re: Sluggish Car (dustin)
I noticed today after a nice healthy run with an explorer.. the car felt slower after it got pretty hot.. the temperature outside has to be close to 100 degress.. and after a that run. it felt slower than normal.. i let it cool down when I went home.. went for another ride.. and she seemed to be back to normal...
damn this heat sucks....!

Re: Sluggish Car (quikrpm1)
yea.. my car feels much better after the sun goes down.. but the engine after a good run will be pretty hot and will need to cool down... i guess it's just something we have to deal with... i noticed the car was a little boggish when i raced taht S2K that one day.. after the run...then the car cooled down and I took down that stang GT...

Re: Sluggish Car (quikrpm1)
Same here. I'm not sure what it is, but the car, there is a slight LAG, it feels almost "bogged" at around 2700-3000 rpm. This is when i'm lightly pushing on the gas (Probably 15% throttle), not Flooring it!
Is this from turbo lag? It feels kinda weak down low compared to when I had no turbo.

Re: Sluggish Car (BG Boost)
I have that problem AS WELL as my "not as fast as before" feel.
It feels like my car is SLOWER than N/A when I'm just driving around normally.
