Benny I think you hit the nail right on the head. I only bought the car in late March, so it hasn't seen a summer yet. I can only sympathize for people living in the warmer states. As my first post suggests, I'm not looking for more power, or I would have bought an F6 or something. Just looking for consistent performance, all day long. Ive been looking at some of the intercoolers mentioned on this site. Some of the cheaper ones like wogcooler and monza can apparently hold 350kw or there abouts, but don't seem to hold that figure time and time again. Since my car is stock, I wonder whether that would be enough. I would assume sticking a larger intercooler would introduce lag. Can anyone with one of the larger intercoolers (nispro, HDi, process west, rapid) etc confirm that? Thanks.

I wish it was that simple lol. The tires break traction quite easily the first few runs, and of course the tc intervenes. Its after that that bothers me as the tires don't break traction anymore. That's why I have the concern that the air is overheating.

Thanks for the quick reply Trev. So I guess it is normal and I will have to get a new intercooler.

Ok guys please go easy on me as this is my first post. I bought a brand new FGXR6 T back in March this year. Its only clocked 5000km and is an auto. Absolutely love it, its also my first turbocharged car. Its stock standard, and im really not looking for more power as such. I just have a few questions for the technically gifted members here. I have a fairly heavy foot I guess, (it is addictive with this car), but it seems to lose a noticable amount of power after a few quick take offs from the lights, etc. It just doesn't seem to be consistent.Is that normal with a turbo car? My next question is economy, the cost dont bother me, but the best I can get is 14.2 l per 100km, mainly urban driving. Seems quite high, could it just be the low km? Thanks in advance. John
