Hey whats up. I just started driving a new 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX. I had a few questions about my car that I was hoping you could help me with. Thanks

1. What rpm should I shift at when I am pushing the car hard?
2. What rpm should I shift at when I am city driving?
3. I don’t know if it’s me or if this is a problem but when my turbo kicks in the acceleartion picks way up and im like pinned to the seat. I don’t get this feeling any more. Is this because I got used to the feeling of it or is it because when I used to get that feeling the temp. was like 75 degrees and now it went up to like 90 degrees(so that hotter air that’s being sucked in). So yeah what happened?( did I finially break in the turbo since its a new car)
4. I have 1030 miles on the car, so is everything broken it by now?
5. Can the high temps make the brake pedal feel a bit softer. I noticed this yesterday after I was driving hard for about 2 hours and I noticed it was softer. Is this because of boiling brake fluid or the outside temp?

Thanks for all the help.

1) until you float the valves (joking)
2) under 3500 so you save gas
3) You just got use to it + it's hot as **** outside
4)I doubt it
5) If you're beating the shit out of it, you'll get some brake fade
