71599, Any way to get back 'cold day' acceleration?
Posted by Semperboost, May-25-04 01:15 PM
I live out here in the desert and it's already in the 90s now my turbo really sucks...there is tremendous lag and it's just not fun. On a cold day it was fun with no lag, and gobs of power. I know this is due to colder denser air + more fuel but is there anything else we can do to get this power back? thanks

What's your setup? Intercooled?

if you are intercooled, you can check out this site www.intercoolertechniques.com which makes intercooler sprayers for any intercooler.

if no intercooler, get one. if you have one and getting high temps, get a bigger one. wait till you guys see my new intercooler, it's a monster. 24Lx13.5Hx2.5W

I gotta starion right now and running about 5-7lbs, ya think a bigger I/C would make a difference. I was also thinking bout making the compressor inlet pipe like a cold air intake.
