it's been a few weeks since ive done the turbo install and i don't know if the car is actually slow or if just im used to it.

But in 2nd and 3rd gear, i ll hit 8psi if i mash on the gas (which is weird, i have the stock rrm 16g kit) and in 4th or 5th, ill hit 6 or 7psi. I don't have a MBC btw.

but let's say im already crusing on the highway, and i down shift to 4th and mash the gas, it feels really weak, the torque doesnt feel very strong as if i did a straight on ramp pull and ill only hit like 6psi.

Is this normal? Or is there something wrong here?

 

Check you compression.

 

i was going to try that when i go get my oil changed. Don't think it's that though. im not burning/leaking oil, car still runs like it did before, no lumpy idle, or weird problems either.

 

Maybe you're just getting used to it.

 

it's very possible, i think that may actually be the issue here lol.

But i still can't figure out the difference in PSI depending on how i drive though, still boggling my mind.

 

Different engine load?

 

I would still do compression test and leakdown for a good piece of mind.

 

That's what im assuming, but does anyone else have this issue?

 

actually my car felt smoother after a week. their was this ticking noise and it wasnt from the injectors. all of a sudden it stopped but it was a new turbo, so i dont think you experienced it.

but ya i guess your just getting used to it. i drove my moms sebring and it has 200hp. than my friends cavy which has like 140hp (not sure). i even drove my car cousins mirage and im like damn i remember how it felt to be slow.

 

haha nice. Yea i guess im just getting used to it

I want more boost now haha not going to happen though. Just want to sell and buy a new car

 

actually i know what you mean. im not sure if imma still have the lancer in 5 6 months from now.

 

im hoping i wont have it for more than a moth more now...i really want a new car so bad!! i gota step it up
