hi all have noticted me scoobys not boosting as it normally does i have a dsbc fitted and it is set to 1.1 but lately i can only get 0.6/0.7 is this due to the hot weather? or is there something else causing my boost loss? was thinking of removing dsbc anyway but just wanted to know if anyone else had noticed a change in performance latley??

thanks

 

Why not fit a water spray into yer Intercooler.

You should notice a difference on Hot Days.

was thinking of that i could run it off my headlight jets

 

My car has less on very hot days too, but living in the UK it is not to much of a disadvantage due to being wet or chilly most of the Year! Cold Winter mornings are a treat to drive as the car makes noticably more power and not to busy before 8.00ish where I live.........

 

My boost has maintaned near 1.4 bar in the hot weather, good job i did the auto intercooler spray mod when I did.

 

Went for a run to Matlock today and my Spray bottle ran empty

Had to fill her back up at a garage, It played havoc with my boost

Alls cool again now though!!!

sounds like ile deffo have to get water spray for my classic is there anybody on fitted one to theres? if yes how easy would it be?

 

was gonna run it from those pointless headlight sprayers

 

Anyone notice the drop in power over last few 'hot'days.
I guestimate i was down 80bhp one lunch time (330i wiped the floor with me, although i was struggling to shift in my flip flops!)

 

Physics
hot air expands, so your not getting as much air in as you would on a cold day where its more dense, so less power.

All my previous turbo'd cars have felt down on power in the heat - as TB says and I assume that the management backs them off too?????

As soon as I can feel its backed off, I do to. This is another issue I have with having my current car - I won't use it when its raining and I don't really like using it when its very hot. Makes for a little used car

 

How did you manage that, and on what version?
