Its hot as hell out tonight. My car felt like i lost 75 hp, can this heat really do such a major effect on turbos? Anyone else's car run like azz tonight.

Turbo cars suffer worse because of heat soaking. Big Intercoolers, dry shots and alki injection are your freind!!!!!!

I might be going with water injection with a 50/50 water/meth mix here some day. I hope that helps with the hot weather or atleast give me a little insurance. I have a big intercooler and it still doesn't help. Oil temps pwns me!
