Question

I have a WRX year 2000. Great car, but at the moment the baby seems to be holding back when going through the revs, The weather here(French/Swiss boarder)is very warm, 30+, could the charge temperature be getting too hot? Also when driving through 3rd while accelerating if I slightly lift off, the car seems to pick up slightly and go smoother. Any ideas??

Cheers

Unhappy

Turbocharged engines suffer in hot weather due to the less dense air, she will feel a little lacking in power but just wait until winter when you get a little fog or the likes

Cool

Ok thanks, I thought that maybe something else was wrong. How much is the water spray to fit? As the car is still under warrenty is it a good idea to get a dealer to fit it? Or is this the expensive option?

Thanks for the help guys
