Angry Acceleration problem

I have a 2005 evo8. Every time I try to get on it...the rpms don't go up as fast as they used to. It doesn't put me back in my seat. I feel no boost, even though my boost gauge says I'm pushing 21 psi. Does anyone know what this might be?

Maybe your just getting used to the car and need to do some more mods? Lol

Check your gas, maybe you got a bad tank somewhere...

Lack of methanol injection?

Pull a log and see how it's running. Are there any indications of a mechanical problem (noises, etc...)?
