Default S2 HELP!!!

Took my S2 for a spin as she's not been out for a good few weeks. The old girl is running sweet and sounds lovely

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be making its power. The boost guage soon whips up to the 25psi but it just doesn't seem to be going. It just feels like a N/A car then at 4000-4500rpm it goes a bit. Just feels really flat though.

Any ideas?

Think I'll just nip it over to Rob to check over. Checked all the hoses and bits and cant see anything

Just a bit gutted as I warmed it up at lunch planted my foot and was just so dissappointed in it and normally it makes me grin like a 5 year old that's been given a tin of sweets

Probably an Air Leak. Check all the hoses again and the Intercooler too. Also, the Throttle Body to Inlet Manifold Gasket is one to check.
