City/Highway I get about 26-27mpg. Better than before turbo.
If you get really bad mileage, you are driving /wayyy/ too hard.

I get around 27-28 with my 450cc injectors. Running stock injectors and FMU I usually got 29-30.

Re: Turboed B18c1 people what do you get on average for MPG?? (dustin)
for 9 lbs what ratio fmu should i go with in your professional opinion.. for a while i was running very very rich because of a bad 02 sensor i got that replaced now my a/f meter isnt working (which i have to look into anyway, it turns on lights up runs though series of lights then shuts off and doesnt come back on, its a autometer a/f meter)

I'd turn it down to 7psi. 9psi on the FMU is asking for broken ring lands ...

Change out the wastegate spring and bring itback down as Dustin said man. Just purchase one cuz I know the rev hard stage 2 kit includes the 9 psi spring. Seen to many horror stories in this place about people running your setup at current time, except for the dude who only used 1 rod and piston for his setup with blue boxes.

HMm...
If the Deltagate comes set at 9psi from the factory, if I turned the screw ALL the
way out as far as I can, then I'll I effectively lower it below 9psi? The instructions
said that for about ever 1 turn, the pressure will drop 1 psi.. I turned it like 3-4 times... PLUS since We're running a large intercooler.. won't the effective PSI be around 7 max?
