I noticed this the other day when trying to merge onto a highway. It was in the 60's-70's, car running for a few minutes at this point and temp gauge just about a 1/4 of the way up. I go WOT quickly to attempt to merge and the car felt like a base Elantra. I figured the car was warmed up plenty so I was a little surprised. The car had no power and it almost felt like the wastegate was 100% open not allowing the car to boost. I tried this again to make sure it wasn't a fluke and sure enough the power wasn't there.
Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this or thought it is strange? None of my other cars seemed to have this problem. It is no big deal to me since I am sure it'll help preserve the engine but it would be dangerous in certain situations if you press the throttle expecting some thrust and you get nothing!
