[urq] Boost leak or fuel problem?

[Brandon Rogers]

Just a thought here, which doesn't really jibe with the going away after 15
minutes part but maybe it's the warmer intake temps now that summer is upon
us...??????

I know my high boost acceleration  has smoothened out now that I have
additional airflow through the IC.....

Another thought (reaching) maybe the oil isn't hot enough prior to 15
minutes for the super high boost - causing some loss of lubrication in the
turbo.  ????

Good luck- let us know what you find-

Brandon
