Wayne Schofield is now working out of NineMeister in Warrington.
He did my 944 Silver Rose earlier this yeR and I can honestly say I've never met anyone who knows how to live map a car on a rolling road any better than Wayne []
His attention to detail is awesome
Ahh.. thanks for the info...... is he still using the same mobil number? I will need to get the car sorted by him before pressing the loud pedal too far...

Without trying to be funny but if that is town driving around London with the engine idling I would say that is around right (I calculate it is being 29p/mile roughly speaking or 20MPG if my maths is not too horrific working on petrol being £1.30 a litre). Christ, my mate's Passat 2.0 PD TDI DSG was doing low 30s MPG around town with me feathering the throttle! My 944 is not that different around town and when I am putting my foot down. A chap with a 306 GTi-6 consumes that amount of petrol in town as well (although he does drive it as if he stole the car).
On a motorway cruise like many it does then do around 30MPG even with the odd blast in the journey.
My S2 (and others) were better but even that was around 22-24MPG around town (like other larger engined cars I have owned). The only large engined exception to the rule I have owned was a Volvo 740 2.3i Auto. That did high 20s around town and 38MPG on a motorway. It was also the slowest out of the big engined cars...

Agreed - he worked his magic on my car last year runs superbly and puts out a reasonable amount of power ! [
] Would also agree about the worth of a basic boost enhancer - £100 very well spent. Every turbo should have one fitted if nothing else....that was the first mod I made to my original car but of course once you start its very hard to stop ![

Very wise ! [
](they all say that at the beginning but no one can resist the dark side forever...[
])19.3 mpg your getting. What iv noticed with running augtronic ecu and data display is that once the boost needle is close to middle 1bar fueling will richen up. Even from 1/4 below the middle mark.
I had Tom adjusted this out b4 and will do again, makes driving up hill Easyer as you allerator pedal movement needs to be very minimal to keep afr at 14.7 rather then 12.5 when entering boost. Without making any noticeable power I could very well be driving around with afr of 12.5.
I would expect the relationship and behaviour to be very much the same with a stock set up. Try and drive keeping the boost needle closer to 0.4 mark on cruze and see if it help mpg.

Possable. Just did 9 /175
Is that a mixture off town driving or motorway?
There is some documention about the shift points and and under rev the cars.
Be intersted to hear more on the hestation your getting. What rpm what gear. Wheres the boost needle of it at the same point Could be your tps isn't quite in the right place.
Tps is throttle position switch. It's the black box on the left side off the trottle body with the engine off you should hear a click as soon as you move the throttle cable and butterfly. If its not clicking you need to adjust its position till it does. It's adjustment is so fine a little turn on the cable will stop it from closing and letting the ecu know.
