[s-cars] Heat wave is over.....car feels very strong!

[TM]

Bob,
My car sees about the same vacuum readings, although it goes to about
25 inches when shutting the throttle from over 4000 rpm.

I just gave it some Japanese luck, that's all. Mix in a little bit of
Japanese w/ some Italian into some German electronics and it's all good.

Time for some Russian Vodka- need a source for Russian Standard or
something
equally good.

Taka

On the East Coast we've had a few weeks of straight high 90 degree days
with very high humidity -- the sort of day that makes your turbo car
feel slow. The heat wave broke today, and we had mid to low 80's, with
low humidity.

Driving home, my car felt exceptionally strong. At first I thought it
was just the change in weather, but then I noticed it was pulling 20
inches of
vacuum on my boost gauge at idle.   This is by far the highest idle
reading
I've seen on my car(s), with 17 inches being "normal", and anything 15
inches or below resulting in a noticable decrease in performance.  At 15
inches,  I'll generally find a vacuum leak that will bring me back to
17". There seems to a direct correlation between vacuum readings and HP.

Any ideas on how/why the sudden increase in vacuum and HP,  and what
might cause it (so I can keep it this way!!!!)For those with boost
guages, what vacuum readings do you see as "normal"?

Bob
