After receiving my SB from Andy Wong yesterday I threw it in. All I can say is WOW. On my way to the clinic for a bruised rib I got a chance to really test it out on the freeway and the thing works amazing.

No error message or engine problem. Ok that?s all I just had to let someone know how awesome this damn thing is!

Hey guys... with gas prices the way they are... Does this SB really make your MPG's go down?

Once you get use to it and stepping on the gas lighter, I think its pretty much the same

I figure I'm getting about 1 MPG less since I put the SB in.

For this type of performance I can live with a 1-2 mpg loss!

Totally worth it.

And I was briefly considering an S4, which gets something like 13 mpg!

I can live with the average 21mpg I'm getting...
