Gas millage? Lol! I haven't checked with the new kit; with my old kit I was getting about the same as stock (around 19MPG) as long as I didn't dig into the boost too much. But once you get on it and start using the boost, you can just watch the gas go bye bye.

VF is Located in Anaheim, CA. Give them a call and talk Nik or Sean about a kit. 714-528-0066

so you roll around, as if stock, until you need to step on it ?! I wonder what HPF guys get, it's a turbo, should theoretically be more efficient. Thanks.
Anaheim is next door to Irvine. Thanks. will do.

I'm sure all these kits get decent mpg until you step on it...

IMO, if gas millage is an issue, you probably shouldn't be purchasing FI

HPF turbo kit is sick George, but IMO I think the M3 is a much more fun car with it's NA high revving capabilities and instant power with the blower...

BACK TO MY QUESTION, what in the hell are you doing for traction?!?!

What does the stg 2.5 kit consist of? Is this just the vf sc and nothing else or did you change your headers, exhaust, etc? How long does this kit take to install? 516rwhp on 91 sounds great.

I'll snap some more pics this weekend.

The kit is the same as the off the shelf stage 2 kit, except a T-Trim blower is used in place of the S-Trim. I do have AA headers, no cats, SS midpipes and SS muffler.

The kit would take about 15-20 hours to install.

Haha, if Johney is smart, he will switch!
