So, I took my car from home (the Seattle area) to Portland and back this weekend. My wife offered up her BMW which is a total road machine and great car to cruise long distances in, but I wanted to see what kind of gas mileage I would get since the turbo swap was complete several months ago (VJ-11/14 hybrid). I was hoping to get better gas mileage thinking that with the slightly larger intake side, the engine would have an easier time getting more air in (greater air volume on slower spin). I averaged 31.5 mpg!!! I am totally blown away. Whether my guess is accurate or not, I have no idea, but with today's gas prices, I'm super happy that I got almost 4 - 5 mpg better than ever before.
Yeah yeah yeah Larry... keep bragging. I may only be getting 17, but... yeah.. my car just gets terrible mileage.

Also to keep your foot out of it to... I always noticed my GTX loves to go threw gas cause of my heavy right foot... if I drove her nice it wasn't bad..
It's all in the bracket size (configuration) which makes it fit the way it does. I'll take some measurements and pics for you later.
I am still in love with your lip. The one on the car.....
Thanks. I need to find out for sure what it's off of. I dont want to give the wrong info out. I went back to the junkyard the other day, and there was a Le Sabre there, but the lip looked different. So now I'm like wtf, lol.
Those pictrures would be nice! The gap at the ends of both sides from the bumper to the fender bothers me so bad. (check sig picture for reference.)
