On most of our big injector files this is re-calibrated. Although 25-27 might be optimistic, most of our big injector cars get better milage then stock.

We use EPL for our custom tuning and 'OTS' flashing for our customers. All of our customers have been very pleased and so have we.

We look forward to working together with EPL in 2010 and in the upcoming years!

Have FVD.....the only drawbacks are:

1. They are not a custom tuner, so they don't work with all turbo combos
2. They won't program for upgraded wastegates.....never understood that one and its kept me from upsizing my turbos

Its how we used to do things before you young whipper-snappers were born! Except that back then no one really cared what your mpg was because gas was 0.29/gal.

yea on cars with out the ECU function, i fill the tank to full, reset the odometer, then look at the next gas receipt on amount that went back in. for the lazy, its easier to use the runnign avg the ECU provides. for example, is there a way to roughly calculate using a formula dervied from difference in inj size? like in the earlier post "27 is more like 16" how was that arrived at? thanks

I'm a happy FVD customer. Easy to install and major HP gains.
Not too brutal on the clutch either. Some tuners may make bigger gains, but you'd better add another 5K$ for clutch replacement to your budget
