How much noticeable power loss have you all experienced as the temps have increased? I have been driving around in 70 degree weather today vs. the recent 50 degree temps, and, though the engine seems to rev more smoothly, the huge torque swell I was getting at 3000 rpm has all but disappeared. The car still has decent pickup, but it seems as though there has been a substantial power loss. I checked the TBB visually and it seems to be intact, though to be sure, I obviously need to observe it under load, check the Baileys concurrently, and run a VAG inspection. Just curious as to whether others have noticed such a drastic power loss. BTW, I am APR'ed, have performed several TB adaptations while cold, and am running stock exhaust. The power drop renders the car a bit tame. Feedback appreciated...

You are getting used to the power...nothing more.

I read the posts a couple of days ago about the TB
being finnicky as it relates to driving style. But I drove the car hard for 30 minutes and it didn't seem to make a difference. Seems to me to be something else besides my own personal acclimation to the car's power...
