In my defense, I am a conservative driver around town and only drive aggressively if there's no traffic (hardly ever) or when I'm at the track.
The last two times I went to the track (including today), I wondered why my boost pressure was so low (~14). I thought that my (relatively new) cpe engine mount (which is pretty stiff) might be setting off the knock sensor, but nope.monitored that during my last session and no knocks.
Did I have a leak? Nah,I'm pretty sure I would notice that even driving around town. Was my E30 blend < E30? Nope.
D'oh!!!
At some point in the past ~9 weeks, I inadvertently switched into the Low Boost/Economy slot via the cruise control buttons, and didn't notice it! I thought that would have been more obvious. My lap times were still pretty good (for me), but I was frustrated that I wasn't faster in the straights -- and now I know why!
Feel like an idiot, yep, but can't wait to get back to the track because there's no excuse for not being faster next time!!!
