1234me Member 54 Member For: 17y 11m 20d Location: Adelaide Posted 11/03/07 04:17 AM Share Posted 11/03/07 04:17 AM Lately I have been noting the temperature outside to how my T performs. Obviously the hotter the weather the more the turbo looses its performance but what is everyone else noticing.I have also found that High humidity days also effect the performance.Anything under 20 degrees brings boost on hard @ 2000rpm and spins the wheels easily.I have BA 4 speed auto 309rwkw.On very hot days I have noticed a lot of lag.I think that the higher revs are not so effected but more the low end boost disappears with anything over 25 degrees and 50% humidityCan some of you share what you have noticed with weather and performance?

Posted 11/03/07 04:42 AM Share Posted 11/03/07 04:42 AM The warm/humid weather used to feel like it sapped all the go out of my car, the cause I would imagine is a combination of things, the warm air (of course), the massive underbonnet temperatures that these cars are capable of and then the resulting heatsoak, the terribly small factory intercooler doesn't help either...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter is coming around so that should help until next summer when I think I will need to invest in an intercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you flog your car the more heat buildup and then the slower you go. Bigger intercooler should fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
