with a full tank i can get about 100miles out of 1/4 and thats unmodded, thinking should have better performance once my decade old PCV system is yanked out and all the useless pipes are gone, better engine better fuel economy right? then i'll throw in a miltek or alternative, a spec1 from Rtech and try n lighten the car somehow  :sad:

...and stop driving my girlfriends plump mother around and not get an ounce of gratitude for it  :lipsrsealed:

Yup, theoretically the engine will be working more efficiently, therefore using slightly less fuel. In reality this will not happen as you will enjoy planting the throttle too much. I've already posted a link to my fuel consumption over my last 6000 miles of driving, long term average is 27mpg. Before the remap it was 30ish.

That is not that bad then Dom as a re-map can add on an extra 40-50bhp, so for a 190bhp car 27mpg over 6000 miles is good, well I think so!  My VR6 over 4000 miles was 23mpg  :cry:

So what would 0-60 times be on a re-mapped Golf GTI and what would top speed be?

Do you see a difference in MPG using momentum to normal unleaded?
