GTRS Eliminator fuel economy = not too shabby!
I usually cruise at about 80 mph on the interstates.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/91176.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/91176.phtml</a</li></ul>

Really doesn't matter what turbo you have or how much power you are making.
A turbo car should always get great gas mileage during cruising(in vacuum) since it is running at nearly 15:1 AFR during that time. Even my 500+whp setup gets 30+ on the fwy on my 8hr drives.

Right. People are always asking about it though.
Also, it's actually much better than when it was stock or even when I had an APR Stage 1 chip. I used to get about 22 city/24-25 hwy.

In day-to-day driving, the car runs very smoothly.
Once in a great while, when letting off of hard throttle, I'll get some bucking. It used to be worse when I was running a test pipe, I've no idea why. It rarely happens now, so I haven't been real diligent in trying to find out. I've been running the GTRS and Mika software for over 50,000 miles now.
I got all of my RS4 mounts (and a whole lot of other parts) from PureMS.

Re: The bucking is probably due to bad oil sink valve/T-pipe. I had...
some terrible episodes till I replaced them both. A very inexpensive repair which was driving me to despair. Funny how the oil sink can have such an influence.
