My car loses acceleration around 70-80mph!!!!

like the supercharger isn't even engaging and the car is SLOOOOOOOW!!!! i took it to the dealer and since it didn't happen to them during their test ofcourse they won't find any problems!!! it happens all the time sporadically, what can i do? get a obdi 2 logger hooked up? (anywhere cheap?) to catch it when it happens...

Do a search on this forum. What you need is a new IC pump. Your dealer should be familiar with the problem as that it is quite common. If he tries to tell you otherwise, smack em in the face, and tell him you need a new IC pump.

Tell them to check the intake air temperature in the history. It should have logged really high IAT.

If this is the case, you should be slow after romping it a couple of time even at low speed. It shouldn't be limited to 70-80mph? Or take the tech or SA and punch it until it stop going.

good luck
