Problem....My car is SLOW....

[Crisqo]

I'm starting to think that there is a problem with my car...
It's really slow, picking up at the lights, or basically anywhere...
I'm peaking at 14-15PSI when I FLOOR the pedal, most of the time its around 5PSI...

I can hear the boost, and the exhaust...etc......but the power jsut doesnt seem to be there...

Anyone have any ideas??
Any tests I could do?

It could be just the hot weather. Turbo cars are slugs when sucking in the hot air.

If your boost/vac readings are normal, and you have no other symptoms of problems (i.e., bad plugs, etc...), the I'd say it's nothing out of the ordinary.

What are your mods? You may want to list your year/model/mods in your sig. It just makes it easier for these issues.

Make sure you drive with the A/C compressor off.

If he's boosting that much, then I doubt he has a leak. He'd get funky readings.

We'd need more info in order to diagnose this.

Are you goiing into limp?

[skene]

maybe stock?

[ornjblud]

Have you checked your vacuum lines? Any surging?

[Crisqo]

I've replaced my vacuum lines a couple months ago.....so that shouldn't be the problem...

What is limp mode?

I got VAG, but no codes come up

Is your Cell light coming up?

I assume your vac reading is very close to 20inHG at idle, and you're boosting fine, maybe it's just the warm weather (like previously stated. Sounds like your car is running fine, you're probably just used to the power now.

[Crisqo]

No CEL..

Yes, my VAC is around 21inHG when idle....
But I'm pretty sure its gotten slower....off the line, I'm not keeping up to other cars during regular driving (ie. camrys, mini-vans..etc..).....
