11mpg on a turbo M20? wow that is horrible. He must have the low load areas tuned pig rich.. FMU or standalone? I'm betting FMU.

anyway, the only mods that count:

M20B28
4.10(s)
42# injectors
crap headers, stock cat, Supersprint catback
MS2/e running wasted spark
stock airbox/Mann filter

I haven't tuned for economy at all and I get about 18-19 on average. with motronic, I was getting.. 18-19 on average. lol. But it was quite a bit slower.

At the the car meet I was talking to blue apple soda who said his turbo car was getting 11mpg. With the price of premium encroaching $5 a gallon in so cal the thought of spending hard earned money on performance upgrades with a potential harsh effect on fuel economy seems like a haunting dilemma. Lets see what kind of mods are yielding what MPGs.

And don't post what your OBC tells you cause they lie.
