off again, there is no turbo boost. Are the intercoolers heating up or what.. it never used to be this bad.. But fulol boost is retained after a little higway drivng? Is this normal, and should it be this potent?

Default Yes!
You need the revised aluminum piston for them, which is currently in the start of production by Forge. Contact your retailer to find out your ETA of a replacement.

Default mine were too
so I bought the Bosch 110's until I get the new Forges. I wouldn't drive hard with those Forge's in there IMHO.
