get a couple of different boost levels, drive it around on low boost foe abit, then wack it on high, and it will feel like new again.

or map it for e85/methanol etc

What car have you? what power?
yes you do get used to the power,
but ask yourself how often do you put your foot to the floor and need more power?

I remember when I first got mine, 221 BHP bog standard, used to think it was the fastest car on the road.

Now running 287/307 and still not quick enough..
