mods and gas mileage
Hi,I was wondering how the addition of a big turbo and big fuel injectors (380 cc or 475 cc) will affect gas mileage. I'd love for my car to be a true SPORT luxury model, but I don't want my 1.8T Quattro to get the gas mileage of a Mustang! Thanks for the info.

Re: Big turbo and big injectors will definetly lower mpg
I'd appreciate if you would provide a guess on how much lower. I get 22 MPG now (mostly city driving). Would I get 19, 15, or worse MPG after the mods?

you are kinda wrong in that respect to a point
take a 1.8 naturally asparated engine and add fuel injectors and you'll get only a little gain. Add a turbo (adds more air to the mix) and you'll get lots more power.

i think my point was the energy is stored in the fuel. The air simply allows fuel to burn
Air doesn't affect gas mileage since it is a (semi) free resource.
dont feel bad my non-injector B5 A4 1.8T (m5) chip for 14mpg in the city, but i was on boost 24/7
