I checked my mileage today and it is up 50% since I started the project (30.5 MPG vs 20.0 MPG). I'm pretty psyched about it because I have not really spent much time working on the car. It would seem that I could possibly get to 40 MPG now instead of the 35 that I had for a goal. So far the only mods I have done are removing the SC (intake is just a PVC coming 90 degrees out of the manifold with an FM purchased K&N filter), pumping the tires up to 50 PSI, and dropping the Master Fuel from 100 to 90 (RC 440s). Of course, I have changed my driving habits quite a bit. Impressive, but you can probably drop the fuel setting a bit more. FM's "standard" setting for turbo with 550s is 87. You have 440s and now no FI. Keep in high vacuum when cruising. If you need aditional encouragement, try adding vac gauge to go with or replace the boost gauge. I'm not entirely certain, but on cars equipped with "MPG computers", I think those computers are registering vac numbers (and probably fuel flow info) on an MPG scale. I use the one in my Subaru (big 2005 Legacy) when driving that car, and by staying in high vac I average about 27-28 MPG, where I used to get 23 -24 when not paying attention. Watch out for tire wear, especially in the center tread. **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008. (http://citysbest.aol.com?ncid=aolacg00050000000102)
