Breaking mine in this week I got about 30 mpg but I was taking it pretty easy. I guessing it'll drop another 1 or 2 as soon as I return to my "normal" driving.

odd.. I abuse my car and I still get 33-35mpg.

i don't expect it to be much worse after turbo, Catalyst reported he was getting almost the same when driving normally and slightly better highway mileage

well, price per tank won't vary with your fuel efficiency, so you're safe there.

Like someone already mentioned, depends on your driving style. Once you install it you'll be like a kid in a candy store. You eventually calm down as you get used to it. Best thing you could do is have it tuned by a trained professional.
