it wont as much go bang,the turbo goes a kinda cool white colour just before the noises start :wink:

An EGT guage is a good thing to have before any screws get fiddled with,wish i had one when i was running the old turbo, :roll:

To get back ON THREAD thats about right for URBAN usage of a 110 V8 - used to average between 8 and 15 MPG in my carb RRC's.. but strangely used to get between 16 and 30MPG in my Disco 3.5 V8 on carbs  :?:  :shock:
