cant say, i just heard you do £20 every two days...
id like to think it could do 30mpg? and maybe abit more on a motorway run?
22mpg sounds like what my corsa used to do, and thats was slow. though had the same injectors! lol

I dont expect it to be good on fuel anyhow .
Ask anyone that owns one, not one person will say they are even half good on fuel and i know how you drive warren  so dont expect much
stevens was just as bad ! arden blue si still best by far !

You can map the 1.9's yourself so a 1.9cdti with a free map will be just as fast as a gsi and good on fuel, and newer.

i do want a dump valve though (puts flame suite on)

I do 26.8mpg according to the trip computer, thats just around town, no motorway driving, mixture of normal driving and foot down.

Boost every car needs boost running through it.
And they dont handle great, well just dont handle as standard.

Ive got Eibachs on mine, can't fault them really, got the car like it so can't comment on it compared to standard springs.
It sits a little lower but is still comfortable to drive, I think my Corsa handled better still
Im also planning a RARB and a set of Bilstein shocks, a few people have recommended it to me as I don't really fancy Coil overs, so Im going to give that a go.

You sure about the mapped bein quicker bit. I have come against a mapped ctdi astra and there bloody quick. been in my mates gsi a few times with 230bhp and its very poor for the power output.
