Thread: MPG help

Get a VW Turbo Diesel. MPG's for days. Problemo solvedo. And more torque than a GP LOL

make sure you put back all your plugs to the TB, sounds like you left off the tps. throttle position sensor.

04 + dont have one, TB is drive by wire.

i meant the one that works the throttle. knew it was dbw . if its been left off, you wont have a gas pedal at all.

Turbo diesels are super slow compared to a gp though.

What does an intake gain at WOT, like 5 hp? so pull it down to 20% (or something like that) of that airflow and the restriction is not as big of a deal anymore. Intake could help mileage, could hurt it. Ill believe what i believe for now until i see tests. And I run open cone and ported TB anyway.

So you are saying you'll believe whatever you want to, regardless of facts.

Tests are done all the time. Intakes are proven to increase mileage time and time again.

On my Stealth it is rated at 19 city and 24 highway. With an intake, downpipe and test pipe as my only flow mods I AVERAGED 26 mpg daily driving it. I got more mileage than it was highway rated for.

Wrong. Mod for mod a turbo diesel will run circles around your gp

yep.

Buddy of mine had a turbo diesel. He was running 80, yes EIGHT ZERO, pounds of boost. Made 800 hp and over 1000 ft lb of torque. Dyno wouldn't go any higher.

Granted it was a Cummins Ram, but still a turbo diesel.

lies.

Stock engine, turbo, cp3, built tranny, ppe hot+2 on level 6 yes 6, cai, and nothing else. Truck has run a best of 12.69 @106 pulling a 1.79 60' time.
I'd like see any grand prix run 12.6x on a built tranny, tune, and fwi. Not happening there guy.

You said turbo diesel. That's a big world of performance. VW turbo diesel mod for mod probably still kicks your ass

To op: get a mechanical boost gauge and try to keep vac under 10. Mpg will go up keeping vac at or under 10 hg or whatever it is
