Default Car doesnt feel as quick anymore.....

Dont know if its because im "used" to the acceleration but it doesnt seem to pull like it did, say im in 5th and want to overtake, i will knock it to 3rd and floor it, all is well, but it feels a bit, say,strangled,its flies dont get me wrong, but tis the bit just as the turbo starts to do its thing.

it did have a greddy induction kit but now has the standard air box,wondering if its this ?

any other bits to check/clean etc ?

Could be a number of things (including being used to the power).
Things like maf sensor, tired plugs, poor fuel, dirty air filter, the list goes on. Without seeing/experiencing it, diagnosis can be difficult to tell.

i should of said, all service items are new.

Plugs,oil,fuel filter,air filter v power used.


instead of an inudction kit, might get one of those ARC boxes that replace the standard air box.....
