She's a 93 , roughly 160K miles , BPU++; Things get old , and everything has a shelf life

 

Maybe the hot weather but sometimes she feels a bit gutless, most of the time she pulls like a train ; today she was making a gushing noise (like trying to breath through your teeth), never heard before

 

Anybody come across the gutless pulls at times?

Going to state the obvious here, you have checked for intercooler and pipework leaks haven't you? Classic symptoms. Very easy to check if you have access to compressed air.

This. The recent hot weather and cool nights making the pipes expand and contract might have split a pipe.
