as fast as mine with the vf34 set up? yesterday, i noticed that my tank went down 1/4 tank with only about 30-40 miles...i was a lil over half yesterday and now im at 1/4... im hoping that thats the correct mpg for the vf34 with pinks.. better that then a fuel leak.. thanks

no not supposed to happen. i had a fuel leak and wasted almost 1/4 tank in 42 miles so you prolly have the same prollem as i did. check and recheck your fuel system. make sure the plate above the fuel tank that supports is tightened down securely and make sure that the seal under it is in place. then check the hoses. then check your injectors.

congrats on the vf34 tho who did the wrenching?

and friend and i did it on saturday.. the thing is we checked everything. first i had a fuel leak by the injectors then we fixed the problem and everything was a-ok... then i noticed gas mpg was horrible. anyways, i think ill check the fuel pump area cuz thats one of the parts that i did. LOL

^^ of course i got injectors yo!!! i wouldnt think about putting the turbo in without the nesscessary components. :)

and chuckie, turbo is awesome... i tested it out ONCE and it pulled hard..something not recommended during break-in process. :)

why not figure out your real mpg instead of guessing based on the gas gauge?

jde--i will. but 30-40 miles for a 1/4 tank is pretty bad..
