sup guys,
i have had my evo 9 for about a month now and iam still breaking it in. when i had about 250 miles on it i went about 40% on the throttle at 3000 RPM and that car pulled really hard to 4000 RPM then i let go because its not broken in yet, so i took her out tonight and i have about 450 miles and i did the same thing over and the car didnt pull as hard as before for some reason. i dont know if i just got use to the power or someting is wrong.
has anyone felt that before? is that normal?
sorry for the stupid Q i just like to have peace of mind
thank alot.

 

With a NA car how it pulls it determined by the gear selected and how far the throttle plate is open. With a turbo car the above is true plus what you were doing right before the pull. In other words, is the turbo spun up or stalled.

 

wheather has some to do with that too

air temp.

 

Yes Wheather could be a factor.

Probably just you getting use to the power thou for sure!.. TIME TO MOD

 

Yeah, weather. I have heard that here in AZ when it's like 120 degrees the car feels like it doesnt even have a turbo.

 

if you want the car and it's set up to last ... keep it under 3k

 

i can hear the turbo spool loud as hell, but it doesnt pull as hard then again like u guys said weather could be a factor. i dunoo

 

Boost leak?

 

Why's that? In the owner's manual it says keep it <5k rpms for the first 600 miles. I've also read that it's good to boost it hard but staying below the 5k during break in, although I know there are all different preferences on break-ins

To the OP, how the hell have you had the car for almost a month and not broken it in yet. I couldn't wait to break mine in, took less than a week. I would just go for drives just to get the miles up, lol

 

you proably got bad gas,sounds like a boost leak though....

 

how can i check for boost leaks?

 

and i live in california so the highest i can get is 91 and thats all i use.
