I very recently purchased the last 06 MS6 in the houston area. I have only put 600 miles on it at this point. I have only used 93 octane gas. I'm not sure if I'm getting numb to the acceleration or if I'm experiencing a reduction in power. I've read a bit on various forums about a reflash of the PCM. Is it possible that I could already need to have this performed with only 600 miles on the car? Is this something that everyone who owns one of these cars has had to have done or only some people? For those of you that have experienced the problem, please describe exactly how your car acted when you noticed the problem. When I first drove the car, the power was nearly overwhelming. Now it just feels like I'm driving a regular 150 hp 4 cylinder car. It barely feels like the turbo is kicking in at all. At first I was just wondering if I was not keeping the engine at the right RPM or something but it appears to be everywhere. There seems to be occasional bursts of power but then nothing again. Does this sound like what others have experienced? |

When I accelerate in the 2k-3k RPM range my car seems to shake a little...not as smooth as I would think it should be. It is especially noticeable when you are in a higher gear like 5th or 6th at highway speeds and push the gas down half way or more. It's almost as if the turbo is spooling up and it takes time to kick in. I thought that the turbo was always running to a certain extent and that it just spun faster at higher RPM? One test that I've done is 6th gear at about 2500 RPM no throttle. If I add gas relatively quickly the car seems to shudder before it smooths out. Is this just turbo lag or is something wrong?

Replying to: waygrabow (Jun 18, 2007 6:52 pm)  I never really noticed it until recently. I can feel the shudder...excess vibration and then it goes away. I'll show it to the dealer. Anyone else have this happen?
