Default Previous Turbo Lag....now kicks in at 2500...?

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone can shed light on this....

Ive got a WRX 2005 Prodrive Bug Eye....

Up till now i've had a little turbo lag, and it felt sluggish...kicking in around 4000 ish...and did not seem right....nor was I happy...

The other day I gave her a bit of a run and pushed my foot to the floor....

drove it today...and now it flys!!! the turbo is now kicking in at around 2500-3000, and keeps pulling....

anyone know what may have happened? As I fear of enjoying it too much and then something blows!!!

Thanks in advance....

No not really, As mentioned above the heat makes a difference to performance but no idea why anything would change by itself
