so are you saying that the fuel consumption on a standard set up with the bottle added will use more fuel then the turbo/cams/ecu option? you are kidding your self there mate
you might be able to make the motor run more efficiently with the aftermarket ecu by leaning out the AFR's
but the reason that the factory tunes them rich is to add a saftey margin.
now this part might confuse some but being more efficient with the new turbo/ecu/cams set up doesnt mean that it will get better fuel consumption then standard.
Al Dre meant was that theres alot of clening up that can be done with the stock maps, and hence theres alot of efficiency to be had if you go down this track...
This debate it seems has turned into a personal battle to proves one is right and the other is wrong, i find it hard to beleive Troy that you havent agrred with any of the points all the other people have made...
As far as this goes...

nope that is one thing you have very wrong there. its not about efficiency its about marketing, warranty, best over all compromise and reliability. hence the reason that mitsubishi didnt fit a t67-25g to there car and make massive power they fitted the td0516g for the best compromise
Do you honestly think mitsubishi built a race car and thought how can we "market this car? for christ sake, they sold themselves qwiker than hotcakes! its got nothing to do with that or warranty's .
Lets stop for a second and think...the Evo was a
Rally car. What bloody good would the Mitsubishi Rally team have done from a t67-25g on their car when trying to pull tight rally stages, probably none...(hence the reason the E3 got higher compression, they needed early torque)

the members here claim that
"people around these parts make pretty informed posts " but how can they be informed posts if they have no experiance with it
This is my statement, and its dead true. I know i can get on here with a question and within 5 minutes, someone has the answer..99% of the time its right, and more often that not its someone saying yeah ive
done that or yes i have
tried that.. hell, ive even had people offer to go and look at cars for me im interested in buying, cos the car is interstate, thats the extent of this community. Respect to this degree usually takes common rapport among each other, and it doesnt develop usually when someone wont swallow their own cookies and realise the person on the other side of the table does hold a few good points..
Plenty of us know the extent of what NOS is capable of doing, you dont have to light your house on fire to know its gonna burn do you (ps-no pun to recent bushfire victims, my heart is with them).Most ppl here have played with it, or know someone who has...You bring much info about NOS Troy, and its all through experience, im sure anyone reading this will likely contact you with any Q's they have if theyre after some answers, and the process of informing and sharing knowledge will continue to occurr, and ofcourse another member will be better off for it.
