you only get 12 mpg's?? on highway is that towing?? your puck doesnt seem worth it if your getting that fuel mileage empty?

Wow, I was getting 23 on a lil road trip last night. Not bragging just might be something that needs some attention in your rig!

if u really want injectors for the stock turbo and good mileage i would go with some bosch 275rv injectors $350 gets u a brand new set but it depends on how much power u want 50 hp injectors will increase your mpgs as long as u stay away from the crappy ones like bd's and jammers

with a small injector and a small box egt's should not be an issue. an edge ez is like a edge comp without the wire tap.

Im betting that youve got a fuel leak, my mileage dropped suddenly like that, ended up being a tiny fuel leak caused by a bad oring,, only did it while i was driving. never left a puddle anywhere, only reason i caught was on a dyno, when i hit about 2k rpms under load, itd start spraying out..

either that or change your filters and hope its not a bad IP
