I went out in the 5 last night and was plesantly surprised.
It felt a lot quicker than normal, I can only assume it was the cold air.
I was back down to 1.5ish bar but it felt proper quick.
Any1 else notice this?
I would have thought it helps in my car more than most due to where the engine is but damn it was fun.

My old ST220 was always much crisper / more responsive on the cold frosty mornings..

I imagine it's much more noticable on a forced induction engine as the charge temps are so much lower and poeple spend thousands on intercoolers, charge coolers etc to try and get the same effect..

Simple science really dude....think about the ambient temp and time of year

Best time of year for people with turbo charged cars!!

I know it's just I've never noticed it as much as I did last night. Was quite a noticeable improvement.

Lovely job

I bet it must of been a right laugh in the 5!

Always found that you could hear induction noise a lot more to.

It was.
At 1 point I pulled up next to a fake escos at a set of lights, so thought it was rude not to turn the antilag on and light it up as I pulled away and took off sideways spittin flames at him lol.

When it was proper cold last week my st170 wasn't working hard enough at 70mph to keep the temperature up. The engine temp was about 1/3 (so i guess thats 60 degrees) and if i turned the blowers up it dropped even more, mental!
