You might start by mentioning if the car is turbo or na, what year, what was changed recently, etc...

well if your breaking it in....its gonna be sluggish cause its building compression. Im currently experiencing sluggishness but the motor is getting stronger every day....the more you drive it the better for the motor. Just keep breaking it in....then if you are experiencing same problem around 1500-2000 miles on the motor...come let us know.
