right now i do not have a boost guage but i will definately invest in one. And about the ac being on ... i did not have it on when i noticed this. when im drivin there is a constant whistle noise though, can someone point out if thats normal because i thought MAYBE it could be a leak in the factory diverter valve or something like that. Im starting to believe that maybe im just getting use to the car but i just want to clarify that the constant whistle noise is normal( i have never noticed this until i thought there was something wrong with the car so it is a pretty subtle sound), thanks a lot for the help guys

Having a friend drive the car up the road is a good idea though.
Shoooooot. We're lucky if 85 is our low! We're well over 100 everyday and I don't feel any loss of power. One thing you could do it get a boost gauge. That will tell you if you're psi is low.

im going to have to argee with everyone else here, your just getting used to the car's power. when i went from an 02 rsx auto to my 05 evo, the difference in power was HUGE!!!. after a few months you start to get used to it. if you want more power start modding and be prepared to spend some moolah.

Take it to the dealer and tell them it feels like there is a loss of power for some reason. See if they'll do some warranty work for you.

I doubt its a boost leak. Could be the whinning of the turbo. Just get a boost gauge and you will be able to figure out if you have a leak or not...
