Losing performace in the hot weather?

Brian - you need a V-stream to counteract the bonkers behaviour of the ABY... Then you'll see 21psi in the winter as well

Whats a V-stream

is it sumin i should have got with my mrc remap?

V-Stream is a recent discovery of mine...

I have felt this also, Im in France atm and we are having about 35c during the day. My setup was giving me 1.7-1.8 bar in 3rd but in the heat its only showing 1.5 and then drops to 1.4.

I presume this is for the same reasons as mentioned above...

No Bo - MRC must have setup yours differently so that it tails boost off in hot air. Not an unreasonable thing to do but no real need in my opinion with knock sensors on board and ignition settings with air temp correction. The knock protection system pulls back timing a few steps in the event of ongoing knock detection... Then it can reduce boost - and then it turn active boost off if knock still persists.

Water injection is what is needed!
I was chatting to Aiden about it yesterday, he said it keeps power consistant no matter how hot the weather is, and is pretty cheap to sort out too

WI is a good solution - I think Greg and a few others went with a kit from Aquamist - it had a couple of options for triggering when to come on - throttle position or boost pressure I think... You don't want it on all the time as you drink gallons of water. An override button in the cabin is also a good idea - for ON-AUTO-OFF control.

Seen similar systems rigged up to garden spray jets for the intercooler as well... Helps reduce heatsoak at the strip on a hot day.

Santa Pod dont like IC sprays as it obviously drips water on the start line!
