<BRM> Does the ECU limit power until the car is at proper operating temperature?
I've been through everything on this car. EGR valve (brand new), EGR cooler only 40k on it, and NO visible leaks. Cam and lifters all within last 13k miles, purrs smooth as a kitten. Zip tie mod on turbo, and pressure differentials right at 120 mbar.
When the coolant temperature indicates anything other than dead-center, the responsiveness and power of the engine is compromised. Even revving the engine, you can tell it's being held back. However, once up to temp, it rips like a banshee - tons of fun to drive!
My question: Is this normal or should I be checking for something else?
