Turbo cars are gonna like the cold. Cooler = denser air.
Also... 7psi... ugh. Doesn't it always feel slow? LOL. Jk.

hotter air is less dense
add a psi or 2 during the day and it should feel similar then at night
or intercooler water sprayers

How are your water/oil temps? Do you have the A/C on?
A/C=crazy heat.

hrmm. interesting.
Water and Oil temps... no clue.
General idea from the crappy stock gauge tells me
that when I'm cruising.. temps go a lil lower,
sitting at a light it gets pretty warm.
I know I know...
I'm supposed to have bought gauges for that blah blah blah.
No money at the moment. Buy me a gauge and I'll let you know.
On another note... I'm running an aluminum radiator with altima fans.

The thinner air is more difficult for the turbocharger to pull in and the decreased density affects combustion in a bad way.

Damn air density.. any way to improve?
