Is there anyway to change the current cutoff temp to a higher temp on the ECU? But like we all know, the real solution is new intercoolers. I'm looking forward to having heatsoak..
That sounds like a good temporary solution, but you still shouldn't have to do that. WTF!! I guess it's a good idea for when your ECU goes into limp mode.

Well it's official, this car has now surpassed the wife in it's ability to give me extreme pleasure one day, and then make me near suicidal the next.
Reset the ECU last night via battery disconnect. Sure enough, COMPLETELY different car today. Ferocious and mean again even in the summer heat. As I did a couple of higher R runs to get her piping hot, I could feel performance dropping like yesterday, but totally different powerwise from yesterday.
I honestly could not even lightly squeal the tires yesterday from a redlight. Just slowly boooooooggged it's way up in R's.
Today, the devil again.
All kidding aside you guys, what's your thoughts a battery quick disconnect from like a Jegs or Summitt. Maybe I just reset the gosh darn thing couple of times a week for years of possessed driving.

Jackpro,
You might also consider swapping your EVOSport core. I've seen them before but over the weekend I got to see one next to mine... mine looks almost twice as big. Not saying it'll be night and day, but something worth looking at.
Turbo cars suffer too, trust me on that one.

Car will adobt to granny mode if you are driving slow, but only takes1,2 bursts to bring her back to life.
I said use shifters because u will force the car into power band, hence always have the power if you require it, with a simple click on the wheel or two clicks
.have you tried moving the tiptroinc on the gear leaver in S mode?
Again to all the its the heat, unles data logging numbers are up, its still a theory...not saying its wrong, but the way some of you are going on about it, with out even data logging once....

I was able to pull 22 mpg yesterday to and from work because I was afraid to jump on it too much and be disappointed. It's supposed to be hotter today. I guess I should get off my duff and actually install the HE and pump...

Did you remove the plastic piece which cover the air vent of the front hood ?
Also, did you have MB anti freeze coolant or you mix them with water wetter ?
Im on the same boat, im thinking to mix MB anti freeze coolant with water wetter but I dont know if it will cause any damage on the coolant system on the long run .

new balance
to answer your original question, yes we turbo cars have to deal with softer power on warmer days. The IC cores on both the turbo cars and the 55k's are the weak point. We are left with adding additional HE's and separating the circuits on the 55k's With your power level, I think you need the reservoir mounted in the trunk as it increases the overall coolant capacity 5 fold+ and may also need an additional HE On the street this will allow a bit more repeatability and then adding ice for the track when you want to go nuts.
