I also need to do some logs on my car because it definitely gets slower during sessions above 80 degrees. Good thing it's supposed to be 94 at Pitt Race Wednesday for TNiA! |

UPDATE
So my mechanic pressure tested the intercooler system and could not find any leaks of any kind, however they said that the system was low on coolant... Obviously i’d like to know how the system got low on coolant and I can’t imagine it wasn’t the leak that I saw That now seemingly cannot be reproduced. The only thing I can think of now is to drive the car like I normally do and monitor and observe it and see if it reoccurs

The good news is that the cars seems to have full power back from what I can tell, I drove the car for more than an hour and floored it a few times, so if my senses are correct, the power is back at least for now.

Yeah by more than 2 seconds from last track day!
All controls off and left foot braking along with SC3R’s have cut more than 2.5 seconds off my best lap time from last year. No Intercooler leaks at the track... the mystery continues...

I've had an internal intercooler leak - into the intake tract. There are 4 o-rings that seal the cooling fluid from the pressurized intake. A possibility...

Congrats! I'd also check the o rings per the post above. Just to eliminate it as a possible cause. |

Inter-cooler leak mystery
Thanks, I'll tell my mechanic about this and see if he has already checked this
