Hypothetically, would it be possible to tune a car to get better milage than what it came with from the factory? Lower the boost, take out some fuel?

QUOTE (black92_tsi_awd @ Dec 22 2006, 08:26 AM) I've found that all the modifications and tuning I've done to my car has actually increased the mpg. When I first got the car it got 19, now even with bigger injectors, bigger pump, bigger everything the milage has gone up to 25-26. Faster and more mpg, got to love that! I have seen the same results and even damn near identical numbers to what you said above... although... I wonder if the mods simply replaced some much needed maintenence items that had I just replaced with OEM would have improved mileage as well or more. The other thing is the theory that a HP engine works more efficiently because it doesn't have to work so hard to get out of it's own way. thus it might get better mileage on it's own as long as it isn't under a large load like racing. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
