    Well if you drive a GTP easy it will do better than 19. Granted I've never done it because the term drive easy doesnt exist to me, but Austin got 34mpg on a stock vehicle I know it can be done.
    But I agree on the expensive part. But there comes a point where it stops breaking
    And premium isn't much more than regular compared tank to tank. $46.50 for regular @ $3.10 a gallon. $52.50 for premium at $3.50 a gallon. That's 15 gallons. You're gonna waste $6 somewhere else anyway lol.

    Well, out of all those choices, I would have to say my vote would go towards the 240. And while SR swaps are the most common, and do have arguably the largest aftermarket following among the 240 swaps, I would keep an eye out for RB swapped 240's also. Just be carefull that you're not buying somebody else's problems with a swapped car.

    And for what it's worth, I've seen some very nice turbo builds on the stock KA's that produce very nice numbers.

    It appears you've already ruled out my main suggestions...so I'm not going to be much help anyway. Remember this?

    1. Reliable
    2. Cheap
    3. Fast
