    Something's not right, unless you're hooning it everywhere. Currently got a 50mile daily commute and getting near on 450miles to tank, which is roughly 35mpg. Looks like you're getting roughly 15mpg.

    Cool a fair bit is town driving to be fair but my exhaust was blowing on the elbow before lambda before I recently sorted it so wondering if my lambda could be ****ed? Idles lumpy too what other sensors effect fuel on these?

    Boost leak is the common problem, it can still feel fine, but some is most likely leaking out.

    Also 50 miles per £20 is not accurate, to work out MPG fill the car all the way, drive your 50 miles, then fill again, then you can work out how much has actually been used, although 50 miles isn't that far to work it out over

    How do you know? Have you pressure tested it?
    Just because it reaches a set boost target doesnt mean you dont have a boost leak.

    Well true I'm guessing it's not as before I did have a boost leak untill I recently put my front mount on and it now spools up at like 2k or2.5k rather than the 4k it was at and it holds at 1bar perfect, Im sure it's the O2 sensor knackered so will give that a try, also got no air filter on which ain't helping lol..

    I'll assume you are being sarcastic and point out that there is no information in the 15 posts of this thread that does not already exist in most of the other threads on this very same subject.

    There is also quite a lot of useful information in those other threads that has not yet made it to this one.

    The "Multi Content Type" tab on the search page is broken and returns only a small subset of the oldest threads due to a bug, so my post was actually useful to anyone with a low post count that didn't know of that unadvertised "feature".

    But hey, whatever.
