Ok GTP boost, I'll buy that but it was most likely using more fuel because of the added boost. The bypass valve is in no way connected to the fuel system except for the amount of air its pumping down the throat. More boost means there must be more fuel added to make more HP. If you keep your foot out of the boost the valve is wide open and that means there would be no difference in gas milage. After adjusting the valve I noticed a lot quicker throttle response so your in the boost quicker and I got to full boost much faster. I like it and I sure didn't buy a S/C GTP for the mpg. This thing is down right fun to drive now. Its no Lightning but its nice.
That's a given that it was using more fuel because of the boost coming on earlier, it enrichens the mixture under boost. I mentioned nothing about the fuel system. My point is that with it adjusted more agressively only slight throttle inputs get the boost coming up so it's harder just cruising to keep it off boost inless you live where it's very flat.
