Exclamation 5th gear, no power from turbo?...

Hey guys, this is a short one, i was driving down deerfoot last nite to pick up my friend ( major road ) and was boosting in 5th and all, pulled REALLY good, but i picked him up, tried boosting again but it felt almost like, it was alot slower, i noticed the tack going slower and i didnt pull hard like before, i know another 190lbs couldnt cause that much of a handicap so could there be something wrong or.... i have no idea....

thanx again....

It may have felt like it had no boost, but do you have a decent boost gauge to verify that?

You could always downshift to fourth and wrap that bitch out
