IDK wtf but as soon as temps are below 65F BAM car wakes the fuck up and flies like the pedal is linear. Although my turbo is still screetching or screaming I guess (any input on this, friend told me its the tranny I still think its the turbo) but it pulls really nice no downshift neccesary (auto tranny btw). Is this a sign that my turbo is bad for sure? I have to wait ANOTHER week since my 90" elbow for the td04 didn't come so until then have to wait to do my revtronix stage 2, 07 wrx ic, td04, 440cc injectors then see if the noise is still there. Questioning a 5 spd swap but IDK my dad seems to think it will be a total mess.....

Temperature / humidity / elevation DO play a role in relative HP gain/loss. For example run some hot day vs cold day calculations through

Hmm, I just never thought it would be that dramatic. Like it is literally day and night the difference. During the day I can go a far as 1/4 to full throttle and literally there is no difference. Another weird issue is I get alot of misfiring like I hear popping sounds and the engine bogs, but eventually will start pulling if I lets say jump on the pedal (power light is on holding 1st gear) then jump on it, goes pop pop pop, bogging, then pop and launches away. Any indication of these issues being related. I would have sworn the sound was coming from the turbo side.

Mine always liked light misting rain or after a summer shower with water evaporating from the road.
