    cold engine = no boost

    So far I've behaved and let him past me every morning as im approx 3min into my journey.
    Cold.!

    1.9 tdi avant flies past me...

    Guessing he has no idea what an s2 is (all he sees is an old banger with big exhaust) but it's annoying I cant use my 5 cyl to show him the error of his ways...always indicate left and let him go past.

    Should I :-
    A) floor it when cold
    b) get up earlier to warm her up
    c) let him go and smile to myself (this option getting annoying! )
    d) ignore all above and worry about something important!

          Do some scouting around and find out where he lives, then sit outside his place bright and breezy in the morning with a warm car and then let him have the stress of thrashing it cold. That said, against a 1.9tdi, I'd guess 'performance dominance' won't take long once the S2 'gurds-its-loins'...

            Warm it up, or drive in the middle of the road

                That is good control not to floor it when cold but yeah, you need to get up 5mins earlier, let the engine run and the oil get warm and then learn this diesel driver once and for all.
