How does an exhaust leak effect MPG? Thats odd. Are the leaks close to the turbo or something? Interesting. Well I get about 19-20 MPG stock boost mostly city.

::Shrug:: I'd say 320 and some miles per full tank. Tank is 15.9 gallons? So I guess that's around 20 some, but my car runs too rich.

well that was indeed helpful...it was better that they all listed their engine mods, type of turbo, etc.

Lowest was ~8mpg on the track, and my highest so far has been about 25-26 mpg with some highway and a ton of beating(it's not my daily driver).

I have had the car swapped for 6 months and I don't think I've put 1500 miles on it yet. How sad...

i daily drive my car, and with running 13 pounds of boost through the stock T25 and a slightly tuned aftermarket ECU, I net around 24 city and 27 highway. Before I put the wheels and tires on, I was making closer to 26/28 numbers.

i get about 320mi/tank as well, maybe a few more. so around 22mpg... when im not beating the hell out of it haha. usually 300mi/tank when beating on it at 13/14psi.

a new o2 sensor should get similiar readings if you are getting less. autozone sells universal ones for around $20. cut and splice.

Well there is a small leak coming out of the O2 senso bung and I lost a stud on the downpipe flange thats 2 or 3 inches from the O2 sensor. So my best guess is that the O2 sensor is getting some wild signals.
