What a difference the weather makes.

[Joe_Stang]

I'm so glad someone posted this, I know turbo cars usually are effected by heat and weather more than NA cars but damn, we have had a few real hot days here and the car feels like a slug, the. In lower temps and less humidity car whips around nice

You are right I mean I know no car really likes the hot weather but this car just absolutely hates it lol you really do lose power more then a NA car would.

Cooler weather come soon PLEASE!!!!!

today the car was ripping!!! no doubt, the colder weather makes for a world of difference, This also should speak a lot too replacing the intercooler and even getting the thermostat that Livernois sells, I actually didn't go with this option but i understand they can cool the engine down extremely well through tuning with that t-stat....

Man I'm really starting to love this car through and through!

yea its going to hot next week here as well. But I will tell ya, this car runs amazing in this "fall" or "spring" type weather.... can't wait for my tune, because I'm pretty sure its going to rip even harder after that!

I so don't miss summers in El Paso...every car I ever owned turned into a pig at 100+ temps and 4000 feet of elevation :-)

Even with the tune it feels way better with the upgraded intercooler in terms of power being consistent. After having it on for a little over a week I see why a lot of ppl said it should your second mod

Picked up the car here in LA last thursday. Went on a nice long drive from Santa Monica to Newport Beach and the temps were in the high 70's, and humidity was low. BIG difference from HI weather, being in the high 80's and super high humidity.

Upgrading your intercooler will bring back power even on the hottest days!

Intercooler makes a huge difference in these cars. I remember on some hot days after doing one or two hard pulls my car was a dog. I had nothing. My intercooler has changed that. Next on my list is charge pipes.

Yes, an intercooler upgrade is a must-have for this particular vehicle. The tiny stock unit heat-soaks very quickly, even on a stock EBM. Upgrading the cooler should definitely help retain power in warmer weather.
