Okay, ever since its gotten hotter outside, my car has been acting up.

The boost normally pushes to about 12.5 now, and the oil temp is running up to 195 at times. Is this normal? SOA said that ambient temperature has a big effect on the cars performance. But does it affect this much?

Its like whe starting your car in the morning without warming it up. Thats how it acts most of the day. Do any of your cars do this?
