I've noticed since its getting colder out, at about 3k it starts to bog,only when the car is not warmed up? My plugs/wires, have about 2k on them and i just replaced my front o2 sensor yesterday, could it be a boost leak, i do have a pretty big leak between the exhuast manifold and 02 dump?
thanks
 
Well, if it only happens when the car isn't warmed up, then don't worry about it. You shouldn't be concerned with performance when your engine isn't at it's normal/optimal operating temperature. Environmental conditions can have a strong impact on vehicle performance, like when it's cold out.

well it was in my garage then i pulled out and drove it and it do it :confused:
 
Generally your garage isn't insulated with the rest of the house so it gets colder and hotter with the climate easier.

Any car that hasn't been warmed up isn't going to perform at it's best, safely. Let the car warm up until it's at operating temperature and then drive it normally.
