I need some advise/help.
I've had my Blue/Gold STI since May 28th and I have very much enjoyed it. Now that I have 1000 miles I’ve been driving the car progressively harder. This, while fun, has raised a small concern however. How do I know I am making 300 HP?
My car seems fast, yet sometimes I wonder if it is as fast as described in magazines. Truthfully, at times, it doesn’t seem to pull that much harder than my 2000 VW GTI VR6 did. My car doesn’t have a detonation issue (93 Octane) that I’ve heard and we have had warm humid weather here in Michigan lately, but I guess I thought it might have more go than it does.
Then I came across this thread: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=386153
He seems to be having the same issues. Do dealers have the technical ability to help me determine if my car is running correctly? Can they verify the 14.5 boost level?
If you all think they can then I will give them a call on Monday, otherwise what other options do I have?
Thanks!
