HELP...my FD is running slow

can anyone figure out why my FD is soo slow? It seems like it lost all of its hp and boost. I mean it runs fine but its just that it doesn't run that fast anymore. Can my turbos be dead? Can by pre-cat be clogged? I don't know what happened. Can someone please tell me why? thanks

how do you expect an answer when you gave no information at all

this was just plain stupid of you...maybe you're tired

precat is a good guess though, or low compression or bad turbos

Take it eazy on the guy man, **** whats happening to this forum, the guy may have not been to clear on what is exactly happening to his car, just reply by saying hey man can you be more specific? and give him a little help by using your knowledge if you have any? by giving him possible areas that may be giving his current problems, like turbos or a boost leak from specific hoses that are typical of cracking, or getting a compression check or monitoring his oil pressure or weather he is loosing any coolant, but calling him stupid man? thats not right, come on guys we are RX7 BOYZ we help each other out.

Can someone tell me what this sound is that my car is making? It goes clickity-click clickity-click. Hehehehe. Now how in the world should I expect anyone to be able to answer this? My FD brotha, if you're gonna start a thread, then you need to have respect for your fellow members and give LOTS of details: symptoms, recent work done, your own underhood observations, etc etc etc. In other words, as many details as you possibly can give. Otherwise, you're gonna get clowned. I'm not mad at cha, just trying to teach you.

what the hell...

Man, i'm just asking you guys a question. I'm just asking what sort of things that can cause my car be like that. Sorry for not giving you guys enough info because I do not know what's wrong. If I do then why the heck am i asking you guys. Just forget it, i'll just bring it to the shop rather than asking you guys the question and giving a bunch of dumb responses....just forget about this threat...thanks though

YES!!!!

...operator headspace...

How familiar are you with your FD?

Can you tell me what your boosting? When was the last time you inspected your turbo's? How about the catalytic converter? What type of Intercooler do you have? Have you checked your intercooler piping lately?....blah...blah...blah...

...We need more information that "my fd is running slow"
