750cc injectors, return fuel system, puff of black smoke at WOT... single digits around town here...

I remember going to HIN once and in blue tape across the back window my girlfriend wrote, "HIN FTW! 13MPG FTL."

I am getting simular mpgs and my tune was approved by the techs at UpRev themselves. My tuner always sends a copy of the tune back to UpRev HQ after he tunes them and is in constant text message contact with them. My first tune I got worse gas milage and the tune was to blame and the end results was two cracked pistons.

Im sure his milage is like mine, off boost while crusing on the freeway at constant speeds. BUT, when in boost, it obviously drops, especially in city driving like I stated in my first post.

If you are referring to getting near stock MPG's while underboost, That is something I would like to see. now in this thread https://g35driver.com/forums/forced-...rger-work.html it states "When driven normally, a turbocharged car will not consume more fuel and, in fact, gas mileage can actually increase" and this is what I have experienced, better than OEM mpgs for me.

That's what I meant... I am hoping that based on his near-stock MPG's that he is NOT running into boost. My whole comment was based on that fact. If he IS running into boost while maintaining those MPG's, his engine will be short lived.

I know I don't get good gas mileage because I love to dog my car.

I asked Sharif to give me a "MPG friendly" sixth gear tune. I do quite a bit of long mile traveling and of course only the sixth gear would be used for long freeway driving. I don't think I'll be doing any sixth gear pulls anytime soon.

still new to boost so I am going into it a good amount. Not all the time though since it has open dumps and I don't really like that. But I'm getting 19 with my winter rims (down from 23) all city. Got 17 with my 20's down from 20.
