Left caar sit for a week, now there is no power :(

Well i just recently got a bike and have been on it for the last week. I Decided to go put gas in the car, It idles perfectly and vaccuum is at about 19hg(or whatever it is). Turbos are hittin 10 psi but very very late, its taking a lot longer to spool up and im getting very little exhaust out of the tail pipe. I remember it being a lot more air flowing out the back... Any suggestions?

Maybe the gas is just old? If it's just sitting a week, it shouldn't be a problem though...

I leave my car stored for 1-2 wks all the time and no problems yet, knock on wood.

Somethings probably clogged. Or you just need some new gas. Every little problem doesnt lead to shot turbos or shot engines. You will notice that stuff before it goes, except apex seal which is not the case here.

if everything seems to be fine, try going to redline a couple of times. It always helps my car to regain a little peppiness after I let it sit for a while.

Good luck

I think that ignition break up usually happens at upper rpms but I'm not sure about this, can anyone confirm? You might be running too rich or something.
