#74633, "boosted/ gas milage"


          

i remember seeing a post on gas milage but i couldnt find the one i wanted if someone could get me that link it would be sweet otherwise post ur gas milage now that your boosted.. i'm gettin at 170 to about 220 a tank. thats just narrow band tuned by myself off my apexi tt. would that be average? and that a mix of hwy and city driving at 5 psi.
also my egt gauge in my star mani is tapped right before the turbo so i'm gettin the collective heat instead of just off one cyclinder(sp) would this throw my egts off by makin them read higher b/c of the overall collection of all 4 cyclinders? i'm curious b/c i've buried my egts a few times past 1600 and i think it caused my egt gauge to break. now when i'm drivin the gauge will just fail, so would the probe be bad or did i fry the gauge itself?
the last thing i wanted to know about was i'm rich when i'm off the gas but when i'm gettin to upper rps i'm running lean and the car kinda sounds like "vtec" so i haven't been takin the car past 4500 rpms. now if i change the disc in my sfmu would that improve my gasmilage b/c the injector would be running less of a duty cycle thur the whole rpm range. i know i could run the sfmu w/o a safc but since i have it wired in i'm using it i just want to be more efficent.
i'm just lookin for opinions here.
