I can definitely tune it with the AP. Give me a call and we'll chat about it.

im stunned my self

i have alot of LSx buddies they says if you drive like grandma, ls1/ls2/ls6 saves tons of gas wen stock, i dont know about the ls3/ls7/ls9 tho, i dont know anyone personally that owns one
It's true. I would get ~25-28 in a nearly stock '03 Z06 and that was not really being careful (usually I-5, trips to T-Hill). After my '10 Camaro (look at EQ's home page) was broken in, it would get around 25 on the highway. I saw 28 once on a longer trip and my friend w/ a G8 GXP (also an LS-3) frequently sends me pics of his fuel computer showing 28-32mpg figures. Shoot - I used to average 25 in a LT-1 powered 6-speed WS-6 when I was younger and more tolerant of ugly cars. None of these cars had any mods crazier than headers or exhaust/intake. The Z06 was tuned (LS1edit, back in the day).

~13 in the Camaro @ Sears Point though.

But 36mpg in a WRX? Not possible.

Had a car in today complaining of fuel and exhaust smell in the cabin. Upon testing the exhaust system for leaks, we found that every gasket had a significant leak. This exhaust was installed by a very reputable shop outside of California. We replaced the gaskets and installed a Grimmspeed donut gasket in place of the OEM one that was used. No more leaks

So I'm kinda confused. What turbo blanket do I get?

They have the T3/T4 blankets but they also have stock location Blankets.

PTP Turbo Blankets - (512) 490-6494

You would want to get the stock location blanket.

Ed, I figured you would be the man for the answer! I'm looking at 2006 Evo and I'm wondering about the smog and ECU part of the smog not the visual. The cars on stock ECU and running a BR FF turbo kit with a speed density what do I need to do to make sure this car is not hiding codes? Coming from Subarus I know like TGV's and that throw codes and you hide them buy turning them off, is there a way to check to find if all the monitors are on so when it's time to smog I won't have to worry about the OBDII? And how many does a Evo have? If this makes any sence. What else should I look for for Smog? You use Open source to tune Evos's?

Evo's are a bit different with codes. Mainly there are much fewer. Generally if the CEL is not on, you should be ok. But the only way to be completely sure is to use a good handheld reader that can check the monitor status as well.

I use open source as well as ProTuner for Evo tuning.

Thanks
