Default MY98 Breather Mod, Car now feels distinctly Slower !!??

As above, MY98 Breathers vented to Atmosphere & the car now feels much slower !!

Is it because the power delivery is now much flatter so feels slower ??
There is definately less of a kick from the turbo.
This is where the Bum Dyno lets us down as you have no true comparison figures !!

Surely there is no way it could make a car slower. No dirty engine vapour to lesson the fuels Ron ..
Defo no leaks on the Inlet blanks !!

Just feels Flat

What happens if you reconnect everything? If it goes back to how it was before, then just leave it as Subaru intended...

That was my next plan, Just did not intend on doing it so quickly after spending the time modding it !!
On my previous Subaru it made quite a difference, I'll run with it for a while & then swap back to get a better gauge of things
Cheers

are you sure you have blocked off the vent hole in the intake fully?

Dean,

I did this on my MY98 WRX. Vented them to atmosphere and had no change in performance whatsoever. If its been done correctly its got to be something else.

I think this may just be me !! I shall have to go & drive a 1.1 Fiesta & then jump in mine for a proper performance comparison !!
