Does your car feel like it loses power at high rpms?
seems like around 5k rpms, it feels like it doesnt have much power.. im sure its due to the stock turbo and all but, just checkin ... it pulls really good past 4k rpms, i guess when its in like super boost mode, but around 5k-6 its just really weak.

not interested in messin around with that stuff at the moment lol, just doing intake, exhaust, gauges, and a flash right now
but what im mainly interested in knowing is, if all of them are like this, just because of the small turbo, stock cams, etc..

im sure a downpipe, test pipe, and cat back will give it some more pull ... a lot less restrictive... maybe ill get a lil more gain from just the catback at the moment

The car runs very rich up top from the factory. It's a conservative tune to ensure safety from knock or worse. A tune can lean out the top end and free up some horsepower. If you get a chance, have it custom tuned. It's more money but a tuner can safely lean out your car more when they have it in person.

Definitely doesn't pull as hard as a lot of other cars do up top, even with mods - cams go a long way to fixing that, my friend's cammed 03 feels like it pulls quicker up top than my 06.
