larger than stock Lucas fuel injectors, hence the prince of darkness nickname, 16square cm turbine housing for a quicker spool up and a 4" exhaust system from the turbine housing back and the injector pump turned up for more fuel. I doubt a oil additive is going to increase your mileage. Check your mileage at fill up.

I lost mileage when my injector pump was rebuilt. Was hoping for better milage. Was 16 MPG
now its 12 MPG. Nothing else changed on the truck. Could it be the pump? They say no.
Searching for my MPGs.
