hi, i wanted to ask a few questions if anyone had the time.
i have the following mods on my car:
UR downpipe, UR cat delete, UR cat back,
Forge BOV, AEM intake coming soon, Dynoflash,
Manual boost controller set at 19.5

first question is why is my gas mileage so horrible? im getting average 220 miles per full tank while driving conservative.

next, would a AFC controller help with gas mileage?

what should be my next mod??

any suggestions or comments would really really help.
thanks and cant wait to get my UR cat-delete!!!!(should be here on friday)

 

220 miles per tank sounds about right, dude...

 

220 is better than I average. I usually average 18-19 mpg (or ~ 200 range...I usually don't get to the point where the light turns on). If you really want to milk the car for all it's worth, shift before 3000 rpms and don't drive faster than 55 mph. Or, draft a trucker on the highway...that helped me once get over 23 mpg.

 

220 is what I get also and I have similar mods

 

thanks guys, that was quick responses and i feel better now. i read on another thread that people were getting like 280 per tank.
what about my next mod......what do you think S-AFC?

 

That is about average as far as mpg goes. To get better mileage, you have to make a concerted effort to not spool the turbo.

If you can't keep yourself from spooling the turbo, lower the boost of your turbo with an mbc/ebc...

 

Hmm, that's a good idea. Just don't follow too closely, I guess.

 

i get around 280 shifting under 3000 i have downpipe, cat delete, cat back , aem short ram, and safc2 ... so it could be my afc that is getting me better mpg

 

220 .... how low are you going on the fuel gauge ? I let it go down to just slightly under the last point in between it and the "E" . I got about 280 with my Advans... I have Pirelli P Zero Neros now and the most I have gotten with them is 324 miles to the tank (highway).

 

220 driving conservative.......full till the empty light comes on.
so, im guessing a S-AFC will help a bit?

 

Close to 280-300 miles in City driving even with AC on. Granny shifting at <= 3000. Full tank until light comes on. P2, AB, DP, IP.
