In terms of relative efficiency this thing should blow the 306 out of the water, its a generation ahead. You should be able to take a feed off the map sensor for a boost gauge, its just an electrical signal, calibration is the only bit that might be a problem.
Oh I see, my bad.
I don't want a gauge permanently stuck in my view lol. Don't mind leaving the OBD scanner plugged in for a journey now and then though.
As for the efficiency, I never expected it to blow the 306 out of the water...however, if someone fitted the DV6 to a 306, I bet there'd be a massive difference... Especially if you leave the DPF off which appears to be there purely to use more fuel to reduce emmisions, cant help thinking it would've been better to just improve the efficiency more rather than fitting DPFs...
Though I'm still looking for more mpg at speed, I had assumed it was due to the A12/A14 being fairly hilly, but thinking back to the Golf, I could easily average 65mpg on a round trip to Felixstowe in that, where its only about 55 in this... Only difference is the blue Golf had cruise (and better mpg than the silver Golf without cruise), can't imagine it'd make so much difference though.

Also nice mpg. Worked out mine this morning 51mpg on veg. Not bad I thought. No heated seats though. My air con button works just no air con does that count
Not bad, considerably cheaper being veg as well.... Though good luck running it all winter lol.
Air con doesn't count unless it makes the air colder.
Tbf, even fully working the 306 AC wasn't that great though.
