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.

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.)Last edited by DeeAOne; 03-08-2011, 02:44 AM.
