    Nope i dont volunteer for anything. :D (too much experience with volentold in the Corps)
    :rofl: hey i wanted to keep it but the docs said it had to come off, and they removed it right then and there.
    i gotta admit it was a cool sight, meat and skin all around with a small white circle of bone after the removal.
    just a clean cut then pressure dressing and then extracted out.

    In my post I also asked "others out there" for their input. I understand that the thread is an old one, thanks man.

    Goats: you had better MPG with a bigger turbo? That's a plus...

    Nevinsrt: is your car stock or stockish? You're getting better than me and I have ZERO mods.

    I usually average from 22 (worst), 24-25 (normally) and 29 at best in the highway.

    I need to have one of you guys come over and look over my car cause I am only averaging about 19-21 mpg, and it just doesn't feel as strong as I think it should for the mods on the car. My AFR's idle about 14.5 and drop to about 10.5 under WOT. I just bought a used Scan Gauge off of SRTforums and when it comes in and I install it I will have a better idea about what is going on. But any help would be appreciated.

    Have you looked to see if you have a tornado stuck sideways in your intake?
