I've heard 12mpg average on the POD's. I think it's all in how you drive. Ebay, if you want them ASAP.

I haven't clock my mileage since the install. I noticed a big power gain but I also did this at the same time as a new head and a HX35 stage 3.5. I got mine from Ebay and they were reasonable and fast delivery. If I would of had the money I would of gotten a set of EDM's instead, just beware the pod's do run on the hot side.

Im running pods, and Im sure Ill get accused of BS, but whatever--the 27.x mpg Ive claimed in the past were on Pods. Now that said, I dropped from 18.5 to about 17 when I first put them in with my auto.

I never lost mileage on the highway with POD's, but I did lose 2 mpg in town. I ran Ebay POD's, Miciahfied has my old ones in his black truck I think.

Although my odometer doesn't work I am gonna guess I'm getting pretty decent mileage as long as I keep my foot out of it. I can drive 6 days on a tank as long as I drive easy. Not grandma easy just not aggressive. Or I can blow through a tank in less than 2 days having fun with the smoke and burnt rubber. I would guess I'm around 300 h.p. but have never dyno'd. I plan to soon. I got mine from PDR.

With the switch from non i/c injectors to POD's you should see a decent power gain...40-60hp I would think.

its the other way around with ic injectors to pods, you will see a 50hp gain
with non ic to pods, you might only see a 20hp gain, depending on a few othere things though

for a budget start with the gov makes a big difference, i'm guessing you turned up your fuel screw as far as you felt safe?

which bolt?

what turbo do you have now? stock? with which housing?

if you have the A518 then you've most likely got the 'lagmaster' 21cm housing. switching to a 16cm will make all the difference in the world!
