Most definately.  I second that.. In the winter time here in rochester, my rabbit has torque and Hp out the wazoo... but on a warm summer day, the power drops to nothing..  Well, not really, but it feels like the torque is gone.  I don't have an ic, so this is part of the problem.

I believe the cause of this is the high intake temps, along with a slightly advanced timing.  The flash point occurs earlier in the cylinders and with the earlier injection time, the engine begins to fight itself.  I will be pulling my timing back in a couple of weeks, and will ley you know how it goes.

cheers,
