i only get 300-350 on my crx. (d16a6/Si trans). I would think that your milage is ok actually! lol.

320-340 from 3/4 tank isn't bad.

----, I never even thought about it, I have my whole setup already in minus the turbo since I was breaking in the car. anyway I have the charge pipes and intercooler mounted up, I think what it might be also is the air has to go through the filter, through the intercooler and the piping to get to the intake manifold, it dosnt have the turbo assisting it. I will hopefully be getting my turbo in next week. for now I'm still using stock B16 injectors. but that could be the factor that its trying to suck in all that air and its having problems.

disconnect the piping coming off the TB from the next pipe and slap the filter on the end of it.

Yeah but is that really the reason for the bad gas milage?

i would say it is. when i had problems with my pipes poping off every day my gas milage was stupid. as soon as i got everything in order the gas milage improved a lot. just disconnect the charges pipes going thru the tb. also the ecu is probably assisting in the problem so get the right map as well.

Cool thanks guys, I should be boosting soon and we're tuning my car with a wideband, so that should help me on the gas milage part.
