Just had HE and IC pump installed...car feels sluggish? Possible culprit?
I just had my EC HE and Johnson CM30 IC pump installed earlier today.

However, on my ride home, I noticed the car was having difficulty accelerating...it felt a little sluggish compared to usual.

Do you need a tune after these upgrades? Or maybe to do a sneaky reset?

Maybe it's in my head?

I thought these would be plug n play and make the car consistent, but I feel like it's sluggish


Any tips? Feedback?

I don't know. I took it to a reputable shop, so I hope they did

Will it ever go away? Maybe if it sits over night?


How can I tell? Thanks!

good call as most shops won't do that. There is a good diy on here, its pretty simple to do.

Where is the DIY? Thanks so much.

Also, would I need to buy more coolant? I'm not exactly mechanically inclined...

Armo - take it back to the guys - they'll bleed it for you and won't charge you anything if they didn't (call and ask first to see if they did it - if they didn't - they will) - I actually saw you're car there today - looked good - mine's going to them on Thursday to get my Eurocharged HE installed.....

“Pinching off” -in MB parlance- the intercooler’s fluid return line is necessary to properly remove residual air from the circuit.
