I have been finding a few threads on this topic but nothing that is like my issue specifically. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday, I decided do a 4th gear pull because it has been a few weeks since I had done so. I immediately noticed it did not hit as hard as usual and was drastically slower. I have tried a few lighter hits to gauge the turbo spool, which is much slower than usual. I also noticed that the tires aren't breaking lose. The car has a lot of wheel spin in 1-3rd gears. There is absolutely nothing different that I have done and I am not sure when it started happening. I did not drive the car for 5 days, which is the only odd thing. That's too quick for the gas to go bad, unless I just have a batch of bad gas? The car runs perfectly during low throttle. The turbo sounds healthy and I am not throwing any codes other than a "system rich at idle"(P2188), which was already there. I am wondering if I have developed a boost leak (should I be throwing a code for that?), which I am going to check that out next week.
I am an APR stage 3 and have been for quite a while.
Any suggestion would be great.
Thank you!
