RCZ: its simple... the injectors are running a lower duty cycle at the same rpm... despite the larger injector size it could easily be using less fuel than the stock units. Since the 600cc are not that much larger than the stock units. Many of us are experiencing this with TT kits because we are staying low in boost where it is actually beneficial... if I was at 4k rpm and 30% throttle I wouldnt be getting these results... Mike

If the exact same driving accelerations are used pre- and post- turbos with good tune, then you will get better gas mileage out of the turbo'd engines.
Engine Technologies The thing is most people get turbos to accelerate faster and not for gas savings.

You guys must have magical turbo kits then. I drive mostly conservative and all highways and I don't get the gas mileage I use too. It surely isn't better either.

Good point, more on the rich side. I don't think it's a big enough deal for them to be getting double what I get though.

I average about 18mpg mixed driving now. Before TT I was around 22mpg mixed driving. I always write down the mileage in a small note book. My trip computer is off by about 50%. My last tank it showed 27mpg but if you do the math I went 329.2 miles on 17.9 gallons. That works out to 18.39 mpg. Still, not too bad after almost doubling the power but by no means is it better.

Again this is all dependent on your driving habits... When I am trying to save gas I drive completely different. I also like to have fun... Consider it hyper mileage if you want but it is possible. The difference between excellent gas mileage and having fun is paper thin...

Most cars tend to read significantly higher gas mileage after installing larger injectors because the PCM gets its MPG readout through monitoring injector pulse times. Obviously, larger injectors present a change in pulse times but the PCM cannot adapt and reads high due to larger injectors flowing the same amount of fuel as stock injectors but needing fewer pulses due to the larger flow rate.
Fewer pulses = higher MPG readout.

Within the efficiency performance limits inherent to the mechanical setup...

If you drive it off boost it will be very similar in gas mileage to stock, but don't come in here and tell us you doubled the stock MPG rating by installing a TT kit. You might be running significantly leaner at low rpm while cruising and yeah, you might even be saving gas (very unlikely since you've plugged the exhaust path with a set of turbos).
You're essentially saying "get bigger injectors and your gas mileage will be higher". Thats bs. |

Unicorn blood has always been my number one choice for fuel additive!
