seems like around 5k rpms, it feels like it doesnt have much power.. im sure its due to the stock turbo and all but, just checkin ... it pulls really good past 4k rpms, i guess when its in like super boost mode, but around 5k-6 its just really weak.

 

get some cams then youll have some pull to redline.

 

not interested in messin around with that stuff at the moment lol, just doing intake, exhaust, gauges, and a flash right now


but what im mainly interested in knowing is, if all of them are like this, just because of the small turbo, stock cams, etc..

 

It felt like that when I was stock.

 

im sure a downpipe, test pipe, and cat back will give it some more pull ... a lot less restrictive... maybe ill get a lil more gain from just the catback at the moment

 

Boost taper. Get a reflash, drop in filter, MBC, and TBE exhaust. That should help with that problem. The reflash will help the most with that taper.

 

1+

 

get a tune thats all you need to pull up top
my car was the same way i could hear it in the exhaust note
would be loud as **** untill hit hit about 5 k then the exhaust nose shut down & sounded stock again
when i got my car tuned i heard the exhast note get lounder & kouder up top when they were tuning it give it a try you wolnt be upset i payed 500 bucks for turbo trix to tune my car left with 111 more hp then when i went in

 

The car runs very rich up top from the factory. It's a conservative tune to ensure safety from knock or worse. A tune can lean out the top end and free up some horsepower. If you get a chance, have it custom tuned. It's more money but a tuner can safely lean out your car more when they have it in person.

 

Exhaust + flash will fix it

 

This is exactly what I was going to say.

 

Definitely doesn't pull as hard as a lot of other cars do up top, even with mods - cams go a long way to fixing that, my friend's cammed 03 feels like it pulls quicker up top than my 06.
