So its been a while since I have changed anything on the D40 and just wanting to shake the bugs out before I go for a 6 week trip end of April.
I've noticed that once the air intake temps hit 50 or higher I start to get really laggy performance, as in put your foot down and count to 3 before you start moving type thing.
Its not the end of the world off road but its crappy on the road, especially when trying to catch gaps in traffic entering the highway.
Anyone know of what can be done to help reduce intake temps? Its particularly noticeable when the car sits for more than 30 seconds the temp starts climbing, I'm guessing this is because of heat coming off the turbo is pooling. when there is no air moving around the car.
Would a jacket on the turbo help? has anyone done this? Will I have to whack on a snorkel? Or is there another cheeky mod I can do to help the situation?
I was out playing in the sand on the weekend and the air intake temp got as high as 80*C Although it was a 40*C day and the sand was hot.
