Well I have had it installed for over a week and just wanted to let other people who are interested in getting the kit, what would happen to the milage.
Before I would get 21.4 miles a gallon and that is during mixed city and highway driving to work and back, I do 600 miles a week.
After the install, I got 20.3 miles a gallon and that is with the same driving style I did before.
Of course with the sc installed you will def. want to push the car more than you did before but for a direct comparision with the same driving habits, I lost 1 mile per gallon.
Hope this helps any of you contemplating this route.

 

lost 1 mile per gallon is nothing....

 

I only get 19mpg with no boost

 

LOL, 1 mpg is nothing for a lot of extra fun.
Enjoy

True, 1 mile is nothing and that is why I posted, I have seen threads where people worry about huge milage loss but the truth is there is not that much difference at all except you can have a whole lot of fun when you do have that extra needed power on tap....lol I raced a Sabaru wrx (turbo model)on friday on the way home and he thought he was going to trounce me....what a shock gave him when I pulled even and then passed.

 

Well I get about 15mpg. I dunno what Im doing wrong. For that average I took it easy just to see the best I could get.

 

Maybe your car is running richer than mine.

 

THAT'S IT! I am getting a SC!.......


I wish...

 

You proably running pig rich. When I ran a base map for my Wrx Turbo upgrade my gas mileage went right down the shi..tter! Then I had it Dyno tuned, and looked at the base maps fuel curve through the UTEC ( wrx piggyback) and at some points I pulled 6 points of Fuel!!! Well sure enough I got better mileage and more power!!!! And yes I was still running safe levels, no knock in 90 deg. weather and 100% humidity in Sunny S. Florida!!!

 

I get 19 at best without SC

 

haha yah wtf im gettin' 19.2 usually w/out f/i

 

I get 22-25 city/high....I stay in it!....I think the cai does improve milage a little bit...or maybe the synthetic oil....

 

That's great to hear. I'm debating whether to go with APS single turbo or Vortech... that is, of course, after a year or two when I have enough money saved up, and better kits might be available by that time(hopefully ).

off topic but I was wondering... does Vortech come with complete fuel system?

 

you're on it too much...I did a comparo of regular driving vs. being on it all the time and my mpg was right in line with urban's and g352nv on both sides of the spectrum.
