Default guess my mpg
Finally took the time of day to figure it out today so here's your info:

93 pump gas
TTi turbo street kit (t76 turbo)
6psi
48lb injectors
tune
walbro intake pump

I have been rowing through the gears, but when I am not I drive like a grandma

It suprised me...and I wont tell you if it is a high or low suprise. It was just a suprise.

THE ANSWER: 15 MPG

I would say 25ish when you not gettin on it, b/c if you shift before the turbo spools up its pretty much a stock car with a tune. I guess alot depends is it an A4 or M6?

Turbo should only help with fuel economy, unless you happen to have that heavy right foot syndrome.

I vote 17-21 range, since I don't think you drive the car on the highway too much.

yea, as long long as you dont have a lead foot a turbo should help your fuel economy, same principle as to why K&N claims there filters give better MPG's b/c they both help the engine breath easier under low boost, but when your boostin 5-10 PSI with your foot on the gas, of course its not goin to help your fuel economy

Voted 5-8 because if I had that I'd never keep my foot out of it, and also because you have the corvette in your sig to get nice MPG if you want
