Hello ppl.

Ok this is the subject. I changed oil 1000 km ago and the car was pushing really hard at the stock boost. Now after 1000 km the boost is the same but the car seems to give less power although the temp in cyprus dropped significally since 1000km ago so it should be faster now isn't it? I use mineral oil. Could it be that or something else?

It's not your oil man....

Either you're just getting used to how fast the car is or you have some other issue. Are you still getting 10 psi?

Your getting used to the power.

Thats what slow daily beaters do best, make it feel fast again. Drive a honda for a week and try again.
I' bet that will fix your problem.

My Tbird (beater for when I am at home) puts out almost 300ft-lb of low end torque... so I couldn't really drive a car that "felt" slow.
