who tuned it? how conservative is it? Do you drive it around all day while in boost?
I know there are some people who actually increase gas mileage after they turbo and tune.

church's automotive (CA) i heard nothing but good things about them, my car runs pretty good but gas is killing me. I drive it daily, but probably 40% of the time i actually punch it to get any boost so i doubt its that. Can it be my ecu and piggy back setup? -im changing mu ecu to an obd1 you think that will help?

it's tuned with a piggy back? ditch that crap now and get a full tune with crome or hondata then you'll see better mileage.

no chipped ecu froma nywhere will help you get back your mileage. you need to get it on the rollers (dyno) asap. Chrome,Uberdata,hondata will all help straighten things out.

all base maps on an ecu will run extreamly rich.

find a good tuner and youll be set!!

more power to boot!
