does anyone know if turning the boost down on the boost controller will improve gas mileage? I don't see how it could hurt anything. I was thinking of just turning the boost all the way down when I get on the freway.

makes very little difference...it's more about what speed you're at and how heavy your foot is...i got 250miles by not exceeding 70mph and cruising at 5-10mph below posted speed limits... i'm definetly stinky rich...

I dont think so because at WOT it will be open loop and the fuel system will send the same amount of fuel as it would for 20psi..

I went on a road trip last week. California to Arizonia then thru Utah I averaged 25 to 29 MPG! Kept it out of boost and actually drove the speed limit. I got 29 at high altitude on Conoco 91. I usually only average 22-24 MPG 80% HWY/20% CTY driving on the California Gas.

I pulled 31 MPG Twice going down hill!!!!!. I toped off the tank after 120 miles because I knew I was getting great mileage. I had only used 1/4 Tank.

I got 240 when it was new now it is up to 270 a tank with 38k in georgia,,,the worst was 220 including a day at the track .The evo and sti was almost marked as a gas guzzler if the companys wouldnt have trimed them back they would have been.That and the fear of total domination is why scooby put the 2.5 in the sti
