You guys notice this?

If I'm driving around boosting up, my heat gets hot. Really hot. Like scalding hot. If I don't, its way cooler. Temp gauge, of course, stays the same since its not real accurate.

This makes perfect sense, but I've never noticed it before on any other car.

Its crazy hot when I'm driving the car hard and just OK when I'm coasting around town quietly. Makes perfect sense, but surprising to me.

I've noticed it jump in temp when I boost. It only makes sense since turbos increase engine temps a TON, and that's where your heater gets its warmth.
