need advice before i rip the engine apart

i have a 1992 reg 1.8 corrado, my new baby, the car is mint except it seems really sluggish untill you get to 40mph then it shifts. its just had a service by myself, no oil leaks. its had a vr6 exhaust fitted to it just wondering if that could be causing the problem. :shrug: [

going to move this to the engine bay section so it gets the right attention. cheers.

Could well be the exhaust but could also be fueling, injectors - loads of things

 

Have you checked timing - both static and ignition?

just awaiting the tool to do the timing, could be that as its a bit thirsty. thanks

When you say 40mph... is that in any gear? or do you mean before a certain rev range?

thats in third. just done the timing today seems to have sorted that out. felt a sting in my wallet when i saw an oil leak. luck for me it was only the o ring in the dizzy cap cheap fix as i already had a nice selection of o rings at work.
