Biba- The original intercooler pumps are prone to failure and when they go out, there is no cel or codes thrown. You will notice that you have power sometimes and other times the car feels like a dog when the intercooler pump fails. Not saying that you have a bad one or anything, just something to be aware of and could be the cause of a big drop in power. Maybe you just haven't hit the throttle hard enough yet like the other guys are saying. Being that you live in cali where it gets hot, I would recommend you get a nw intercooler isolation kit. It'll keep your intake temps down and help your car keep its power when it gets hot.
