I know performance and gas mileage is an oxymoron, but coming from two Supras, including a modified '89 Supra Turbo, I can appreciate what boost can do for performance.

I had considered the new M3, but given its poor gas mileage (compared with the 335i), this is really discouraging me. Then again, having something like 14 mpg city, 20 mpg hwy is something I can live with for the new Z if this is what this kit would allow me with mild to moderate boost.
MPG shouldn't be a problem and it really depends on your driving style. If you drive moderately you should not be experiencing a big loss of MPG. I speak for myself when i say this, if I went TT I sure as hell would drive it like I stole it. As you head 145 + mph, you have an ear to ear grin, on your face, the blast of the Blowoff valve going whoosh, and the push you back into your seat feeling at the blip of your gas pedal... Sigh... who cares about mileage at this point.
