Hmmm, that is odd. I've got an 03 and all I've noticed is that the more weight I've put/hauled in/with it, the better it likes it.

How many miles you got on yours?

Happy New Year!

Joe

Maybe you've got the effect of a big rig? The more weight the better she rides.

I have actually heard of this before, some say because of the added weight no matter what it is the turbo gets a chance to spool more before you are moving very quickly so when it does it feels like more power off the line. If that makes any sense at all. LOL
