MPG with Torquer 2
Has anybody experienced shitty gas mileage with the instalation of their cam and their car being an A4? Ive noticed a huge difference after my head/cam install and tuning. I filled it up yesterday and drove a total of about 150 miles and its at 1/4 of a tank. Is there alot of fuel spent at first start-up and just tooling around town with no highway driving? My SES light is on and it says my Throttle Position Sensor is throwing the code. My O2 sensors are fine and just wondering if anybody has gone through this problem. My tuning was fine with a fuel/air ratio of about 13.

Mine was getting around 13-14 mpg when I had this code now with good driving I am seeing 17-18 in city driving, with stock 3.23 gears of course.

If you are throwing a P0121 code-insuffiect TPS activity that is your problem. When the computer sees this code it goes into some kind of fail safe mode. It will add extra fuel and the trans will shift through all the gears by 40mph. You need to move the max kPa of the MAP senor at idle up because the cam does not have as good of vacuum at idle as the stock cam.

My mileage is about the same as it was stock. I've still got the 3.42s though...and HATE them. I've got a hotcam, LTs, ORY, Hooker catback, LS6 intake, Vinci Tuner, Lid, yada yada... No pullies though.
I can get around 28 mpg with the air on max on the interstate, and maybe 16 to 18 around town.
