Car Feeling Weak :(

[R34NRG]

my cars been feeling real weak for some reason. ive noticed ever since i put that stupid caltex vortex 98 instead of the usual BP ultimate. i thought this was the problem so the next time i filled up i only used BP but it still feels weak. i remembered i was adjusting the release point for my BOV before but im not sure if this has a impact on why my car feels so weak.

i think its something to do with the turbo. cuz the car runs like the turbo isnt workn....like no pull....or at least very lil. normally there was a big amount of pull.

is it just me or is there something wrong?

if the only thing you remember playing around with was ur bov.. try taknig off you bov and putting stock one on and see if it fixes it..

using different brands of fuels (assuming all 98ron) shouldnt affect it that much.. it may be noticeable but not as big as a difference as your explaining.

Vortex, Ive had similar problems on, its cheap and its shit.

i only tried it because ppl on here said they were pulln 500kms out of a full tank wen i can only pull out 400 if i drive like a granny. they also said performance if very good.

i guess its a load of bs in terms of my car.

the only other fuel im gonna try is shells 100 octane.

or maybe your car feels weaker because you are more used to it? Could also be the case. Is for me!

that's what happened to me. then u give it a boot full on a narrow bumpy street somewhere (as opposed to fwy) and you remeber how damn hard it goes. lol

Make a new section on SAU for andru

I have been using vortex 98 with no problems at all for nearly 1 year now. Never ever used any other fuel than vortex!! so doubt your car will affect it that much with using different 98 brand fuel.

So must be something else than using different fuel.

that cheap nasty bov is probably leaking now

put the stock one back on

[LiQuid IcE]

ive used vortex, its fine.

prolly the same pump you used it form too since I live in your area.

went back to ultimate when i filled up $85 one day and only saved $2 using a safeway voucher! thats when I realised its worth the extra $100 or so a year to just use ultimate

[mad082]

it could be a bad batch of fuel. plain and simple. and even though you have filled up with ultimate it will still have some vortex in it. stick some octane boost in and see if that helps.
