Brake Boosting stopped working

I have brake boosted 3-5 times successfully at stop lights, dig races, etc and had great success. Today, I went out in 80 degree F weather with the car fully warmed up on highway driving, and tried to brake boost a few times. I couldn't get it to do it once. I was using AUTO/Sport mode with traction off.

After quickly pumping the gas to 2.5k-4k RPM, and letting off the brake while applying WOT, the RPM's just shot up like i was revving the engine. 1st gear just wouldn't catch.

Could this be temp related?

I'd think it's more idiot related than temps...

Ha! My suggestion after reading the title would've been 'switch idiot driver mode back on', but your reply was much better.

We're just giving you sh*t bro. With a transmission as expensive as ours it was just puzzling that you would want to risk it. With a few bolt ons, maybe a turbo upgrade and some good gas, your ride will have enough stomp and go to put a smile on your face, even without the clutch smoking brake boost.

Best of luck!
