know the feeling. I think you need to drive a nissan micra 1 litre for a couple of weeks. Get back in your scooby and then you'l wonder what all the fuss was about!! My impreza has engine probs. I'm driving a micra at the min and hadnt realised how powerfull my wrx was!

Have you had an oil change recently or topped it up?
In my experience if you fill it up to the top mark it can cause the boost control solenoid to gum up and the turbo gets a bit sluggish.
