Stage 2 and 23MPG!
Hey Guys,
I have been driving the stage 2 this weekend and managed to get 23 mpg!
Admittedly this was driving the car mostly on the freeway and off boost but it is still encouraging to know that even with 680cc injectors the car gets decent fuel economy. Of course a lot of this was due to the car being on worn out Toyo RA1, lots of rain and my girlfirend in the car, so no speeding. I think it also is partly due to the larger turbo as well and not ripping at 19-21 psi at all times. Just thought I would share the info. Take care fella's.
