  • road trip with the turbo

    Just got back from Santa Fe last night. It was about a 1200 mile round trip from my mom's place back here in Oklahoma and the car ran great. I didn't have any problems driving the car 10 hours straight and boosting it most of the way back :D The only thing I noticed was that it took a little longer to spool up since the elevation was around 7,700ft. I'm use to it being around 1,000ft [img]smile.gif[/img]
    I also got 28mpg during the whole trip.

      So, if you were to take your car under water(below sea level), it should spool up fast eh? :D :D :D

            how does the 28mpg compare to your mileage before the turbo?

              When the car was bone stock I got 24mpg and then after a few mods the best I ever got was 27mpg.

              In the city stock I would get 18-22mpg and I haven't really tested it with the turbo. I posted once but I don't remember what it was.
