mills705 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Overtook a bloke tonight on way home from work that was doing 40mph up the on ramp to get onto the a1 so I did go for it quite a bit. Once off the a1 I noticed my car didn't appear to have the same oomph as before. Just come back in after seeing spectre and although no dual carriageways it does have the turbo feeling back I think ie the slight lag on acceleration and the noise is there but I'm worried about blowing the turbo? I don't usually put my foot to the floor but this is one time I have and I feel like I might have done something. No bangs or anything when I did the acceleration, no smoke and car is running ok and no lights on dash. So am I worrying over ing nothing then?

mills705 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I won't be flooring it again that's for sure. I'll see, probably forgotten by tomorrow morning and won't notice anything. Sometimes I think I worry about the engine too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDream Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Was the engine properly warmed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Had been running for 10/15 mins before this happened in traffic and 30/ 50 mph zones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I drive like that all the time any only had loss of power once. I'm sure the overboost timed out for me and went into limp mode. Everything was fine after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mills705 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Took the car to the gym today and it seemed fine. Wonder if I could just be getting used to it too so the power doesn't feel as there as it was when I first got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
