Default Hallucinations?

WTF? Seems like sometimes I have no power. I'm cruising along on surface streets doing let's say, 45mph and go into boost to go around a slower car, and I'm not moving like i think i should be. A minute later and It's good.

A WOT pull from ~50 doesnt feel like it should but I can burn them at 35 a few seconds later. Is this a symptom of anyhing or am I paranoid

If my TC was fading what would that feel like? I dont hear anything unusual, all gauges read good.

Thanks.

I was being a bit grumpy

Ah, I hope it's nothing. You ever get like that? You know, you have to floor it every 10 seconds to see if it will do it again?

Thanks. 3rd gear is where I noticed it. Converter is locking/unlocking ok. I checked around the intake mainfold breifly and didn't hear or see anything.

Does a tc get looser with use?
