Man, must be the new math. When I changed the turbo and boost on my old vehicles my mileage always sent South. Way South.
Congratulations!

Overall, Railton. If I bury the gas the tank goes empty quickly. However, in everyday normal driving I'm running much more efficiently. Really, though, I just go based off what the car tells me.

Any updates Vman? Interested to see how you like the AP after a few months. Seriously considering it.

Seriously.  I have never heard anyone I've known to have gotten an AP to say they've hated it and wanted to send it back.  It's as close as 100% satisfaction as any aftermarket product I've ever dealt with.  You really can't go wrong with the massive performance gains over stock for such little coin.



Am shocked you don't have one already.

Love the pressure, RR.

Dockman, its been flawless (knock on wood). My car is a beast out of the hole and has been running very well. Every day I get into my car I'm so happy I bought my exhaust and whenever someone wants to get frisky I'm happy I'm running 17-18 pounds of boost  :skid:

To go beyond the AP, I would say that it's almost mandatory to go with a Protune or Clark Turner custom map to really tailor the AP to your car. I was scared before doing it but Rrocket really talked me through it (even looked at some of my early CT maps) and let me know that it's a pretty safe bet. I was on the ledge.

The Clark map runs smoother than the Cobb OTS Stage 1 and also puts out 2-3 more PSI (even his 91 map). He also concentrated a lot of effort on the ROM and you really get power where you need and want it and really good daily drive-ability.

If you want to get together in the next little while you're welcome to take my car for a rip and I'll show you how the AP works and some of its features.  :)

I must add that I can still get over 35MPG driving up to the cottage if I want to  :pimp:

Did some datalogging this afternoon and hit peak boost of 18.9 PSI.....more than 1 PSI greater than the last time I datalogged.

That's approaching peak boost of many Stage II setups........there's gotta be a reason I'm overboosting. Rrocket, you have some thoughts?

1 psi isn't a ton, really.  It's cool out and the air isn't humid.  You'll make more boost.  If you're concerned, just run a datalog on you AFRs.  Will be the easiest way to see if there's an issue.

Like Snowy says...if it's bothering you send the datalogs to the tuner and see what he says.

Did some full logging at 7000RPM pulls tonight. Peak boost back to mid-17s (which is normal) on all pulls and driving around. AFRs normal, DAM 1..........crisis averted. Suicide watch over.


I want a faster car, though.

Go to Stage 3 and cut engine life by 50% or cough up $80k  :)
