wr1 poor performance
Seems to be very sluggish just lately....run the car on optimax all the time. really cheesed off a peugeot 307 136bhp dt pulled away from me tonight so i know theres a problem
The car runs a forge dv and the only other thing i had done recently was a new stereo install...which takes power direct from the battery.....(maybe taking to much power???maybe)
Any Ideas
p.s. i bounced the car of the rev limited a few weeks again when i missed a gear.
many thanks

I doubt your radio will pull more power than the air con does, although it has to be said, the air con does kill performance.
If you fill up at the same petrol station, perhaps they had a bad batch of fuel, or put diesel in the Optimax tank!
On a more serious note - would take it to your dealer and play safe.

i think u need to do a ecu check
sounds like your in limp mode
ps it aint your stereo, and a rev limiter is there to protect your engine, hitting it wont cause a problem.
unless u wer doing 100mph and put her in to second
that would cause some damage

Put the original (proper) dump valve back on to start with, the only reason I see to change a perfectly good dv is to get the noise - assuming it's a VTA?
As has been said, check the boost value - my sons STi with PPP was pushing only 0.85 bar, turned out to be a blocked bleed to the actuator.
