My car is boosting. i can hear the turbo the same as before but it doesn't get up and go... it just speeds up like any other regular car lol. now i know my number is in the range of the recall for the charge piping but everything seems fine under the hood. i guess it's not though... any suggestions?

 

i feel like mine does this sometimes too. sub'd

 

sub'd?

it's not throwing a code or nuthin... i wonder what the deal is.. i mean it's acting like something is loose... um. was fine earlier, went to a friends it was doing fine boosting good... picked him up. and on my way back home down like a 1 miles stretch of road into my neighborhood i noticed it not boosting right. um. not in first or second... second feels like it lasts forever now lol.

i say earlier this was like 15 minutes ago lol...

 

Maybe your getting used to the cars performance and it doesnt have the same thrill anymore. Happened to me. You need a tune lol.

 

...


it's not boosting... i'm used to performance cars this isn't my first, the acceleration is terrible now... i mean floor it just pokes up to 6k it used to go buy in a flash.

i think i'm going to take it in anyways. there was a recall on it. and i'm getting moisture in my driver side headlight... so. hmm

it may have been the computer or something idk... but it def didn't feel right lol.

hmm it might be KR... i put Shell 93 in it and filled it up... it's the first time i've used shell gas. would the gas have this much of an affect on it? no CEL or codes thrown yet... it seems as though it speeds up just as fast half throttle as full throttle... only a slight difference... dam shell gasoline. i need an oil change too.. it'll be tuesday before i can take it to a dealer for an oil change and the headlight moisture... i hope it won't mess anything up, no codes yet like i said. just kills the performance lol.

and yes i want a tune but i want everything on there before i get one (bolt-ons).. and i have no clue where i can get a good tune in my area... meh i hope it's just Shell's retarded gas. I almost always use chevron and exxon gas.

 

yep your car is pissed you put gas it's not used to. or maybe they put 87 in the 93 tank?

 

lolz. no seriously what else could it be? everything checked out under the hood... it's gotta be the gas. (i hope). why did i have to fill it up...

would it mess anything up? i mean other than draining the performance? can't bad gas cause knock and all that jazz? (and a bad smell )

 

Is your friend a fatty? Maybe he's bogging your **** down


(not serious)

 

ya know i actually said that. he said "**** you". nah he's not fat... but the problem is it did it before i got to his house to pick his **** up lol.

 

it may be the gas. what year is your car? wondering because its the first I've heard of a recall on the charge piping.

 

2009... i forget the VIN's involved but mine was in there..

 

R u sure that the CP is still connected to the Throttle body. When a Charge pipe is loose it usually doesn't throw a code anyways man?

I say this from experience lol. Entire thing was sitting off the TB and I couldnt tell till i put my hand down in there, looked normal from the top.

 

i ate plastic stuff... stupid plastic everything under the hood.. that's why i need boltons... it's a shame they do that... but whateverz i guess.

I'll look today... i didn't have much light last night but i'll definitely check more today.

hmm everything looks fine... must be the gas doing all that... i need an oil change too... got a tad over 1k miles
