I'm sorry how?!
You must be billowing smoke...
My car at 175hp with the VNT was easily doing 55mpg on a run and when nailing it averaging about 30-35mpg...
With the GT17S it's similar, but the cruise mpg is down to about 50mpg ish...
^^this
Downside to a massively laggy blower I suppose, not burning le fuel. I stick a tenner of derv in the meatwagon and it lasts ages!
its getting pretty decent mpg now, this was back when it first hit the road with the new blower, like you said, loads of smoke and generally running like shit until i figured out how to set the pump up properly. before the headgasket blew it did over 300 miles on £30 of juice which i was pleased with considering it was driving welsh mountain roads
