Well got it back today. Of course i was told could not duplicate the problem. Problem was smelling coolant. They told me they did a leakdown (pressurizing) test and it was ok, though once again at this dweeb dealer, not written on any paperwork. No DTC codes were found, i could have told them that, no check engine lights. Duh. They can't fix anything if they don't have a code. So i bought a gallon of antifreeze and the parts lady looked at me, i said "i'm going to need it i guess cause they couldn't find the problem". So got home and the tank is 1" over the max line, don't know if that is hot or they just added extra.
Couldn't tell if they reduced the boost with recall 19B37, next time on a short on-ramp i will know. If does seem like whatever they did, as soon as i touch the gas pedal it lurches forward like i am driving with boots on. Maybe part of it was variable valvetiming adjustment for a bit more low end?
