The heat lately here in VA has been giving me some boost problems. I have a Blitz front mount on my S13 SR. I have the intake filter with a aluminum pipe positioned as far away from the motor. I am using the clutch fan and shroud on a slightly bigger volvo rad. This only happends in stop and go driving around town in the middle of the afternoon. The 14psi of boost feels like stock boost and i checked my cold pipe and it seemed on the warm side. Other then that my car will run like a champ with no problems in 90deg weather and below, but once its hit 105 with humidity it runs very sluggish.

ummm...run colder step sparkplugs for one. So the question is what sparkplugs are you running?

I am running a heat range 7 on NGK. People have been telling me that my car will always feel sluggish and slow if the temp and the humidity is very high.

Intercooler sprayer
Water Injection

Those can help.
