it has a brand new motor with a HUGE streetport... now has 1,200 km's on it..

if the motor is at operating temp, and i shut it off for 10-30 mins, and drive it again, its a shitload faster... until i shut it off again

stock everything else except for FCD, bov, and cone intake filter, and exhaust

anyone got any ideas?


thanks,Dan.

 

Still running the top mount? Heat soak my friend...heat soak.

 

top mount.. yes... heat soak? so the power is just from the boost being that much cooler?

that'd be awesome if it was that,... and not something electrical...

 

go front mount, you should be able to even with using the stock IC up front you should notice a difference over the top mount setup, heat soak is a problem with ANY intercooler mounted in the engine bay, or you could put an intercooler sprayer on it where it is, and also get a intake temp sensor/gauge. the latter would be less chopping up your car, but it'd be more of a chore.
