JCW Low boost?
Update: I had the car run on a dyno this afternoon. Best of three runs came up with 179.9hp at about 6,700 rpm and 151.6lbsft at about 3,600 rpm at the wheels. These print-outs don't have a lot of info on them - the whole set-up seemed fairly low-end.
I don't know if anything is SAE or otherwise adjusted, but fwiw the shop door was open and it was about 65 degrees and cloudy out.
If we do a 15% adjustment for driveline loss, it comes out to 207hp and 176lbsft - right where it should be; a couple lbs off for the torque. I still think the car feels less peppy than it has in the past, and that it really seems to "working hard" under hard acceleration. It was suggested that I might replace the plugs if it's been a while. Gonna try that, and have a few other things poked around. Someone else offered that the sc rotor seals might be worn, which would seem to jibe with lower boost readings.
